Brief Answer:
cinnarizine -1-2 hours before travel.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that your mother is having motion sickness.
As such, cinnarizine (stugeron) is a choice of treatment in motion sickness to control vertigo and nausea. It should be taken 1-2 hours prior to travel.
Physiologically, cinnarizine abolishes calcium currents. The inhibition of these currents works to lessen the vertigo and motion-induced nausea by dampening the over-reactivity of the vestibular hair cells, which send information about balance and motion to the brain.
In my opinion, you need to continue the same medication, whenever she travels.
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
