Will Transderm-V Patch Help For Seasickness And Vertigo While Travelling In Cruise?

Hi,
I recently had a very bad case of flu extremely congested, and then I got vertigo it was really terrible. I'm over it
now and feeling pretty good, my question is this just before I got sick I had booked a cruise to the caribean I have
been seasick in the past my dr. thinks that if I get seasick I may get the vertigo again, I purchased transderm-V patch
and thought I would try it now before I go on cruise to see if I get any bad side effects. Or should I cancel my cruise
and make sure I am really heathy

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that you experience sea sickness and/or vertigo on your cruise but if you feel as normal now, there is no reason to delay your cruise.

You can consider using the patch before hand to see if you have any side effects related to it.
If you do experience problems then you can consider using an alternative agent.

I hope this helps
