Gravinate Injection 25 Ampoules X 1Ml

How it works

The mechanism by which dimenhydrinate exerts its antiemetic, anti-motion sickness, and antivertigo effects is not precisely known, but may possibly be related to its central anticholinergic action. Other actions may involve an effect on the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone or dose-related inhibition of vestibular stimulation (i.e., first acting on the otolith system and in larger doses on the semicircular canals).
