Phenergan tablet / syrup...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concern. An antihistamine promethazine available as syrup or tablet phenergan is helpful in treating motion sickness. It can be taken 30mins to an hour before travel. This tablet is available on prescription from your local doctor.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
