How can I prevent motion sickness on an airplane?

I am flying to Japan on Monday from California so I have a long flight ahead of me. I fly to Europe from here often as well and I always get sick about 8 hours into the flight. I took some motion sickness medication once and I made it all the way through the flight without getting sick. It surprised me because I can ride roller coasters and watch movies in cars without getting sick. Does anybody know of any medication, preferably chewable or liquid that I can run over to the drug store and grab before my trip?How can I prevent motion sickness on an airplane?You can try motion sickness wrist bands. I've only used them twice but they worked. You can find bands at local pharmacy or on-line. Red %26amp; white peppermint candy balls also help me.How can I prevent motion sickness on an airplane?
I don't think you should rely on medicines totally...they surely help,but you can take some other precautions like :

-Avoid big, greasy meals and alcohol the night before air travel.

-Eat light meals or snacks that are low in calories in the 24 hours before air travel.

-Avoid salty foods and dairy products before air travel.

-Sit toward the front of the aircraft or in a seat by the wing.

-Turn the air vent flow toward your face.



If you must take medication then you can do with:

Scopolamine (Transderm Scop) -- most commonly prescribed medication for motion sickness. It must be taken before symptoms start. It is available as a patch form that is placed behind the ear 6 - 8 hours before travel. The effects last up to 3 days. Side effects may include dry mouth, drowsiness, blurred vision, and disorientation.

There are other medications like Promethazine (Phenergan),Cyclizine (Marezine),Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine).How can I prevent motion sickness on an airplane?Dramamine is a great med for motion sickness. My husband always took it when we flew between the States and Japan, and he never got sick. Another option if you don't want to take medication, is to pick up some Sea Bands.

Get a brown paper grocery bag and tear the side out of it, wear it next to your stomach, against the skin, under your clothes, it helps. We always used to do that for car sickness.How can I prevent motion sickness on an airplane?Dramamine or Bonine will do the trick. And try and get a seat near the rear of the plane (not over the wings). It's more stable.How can I prevent motion sickness on an airplane?
