Abstract: Motion sickness is a disorder thought to be caused by the excessive stimulation of the vestibular apparatus caused by angular and linear acceleration and deceleration sometimes resulting in nausea and vomiting. Characteristic signs and symptoms of the condition in addition to nausea and vomiting include yawning, hyperventilation, salivation, pallor, profuse cold sweating, somnolence, aerophagia, dizziness, headache, general discomfort, fatigue, weakness, and inability to concentrate. When prolonged motion sickness is accompanied by vomiting, hypotension, dehydration, inanition and depression may occur. The present invention includes methods for prevention of motion sickness as well as methods for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of motion sickness after their onset.
