Neo-Emedyl Dragees

Product Information & Legal Notices

For the prevention and symptomatic relief of motion sickness

Product Information

What are Neo Emedyl Dragees and what are they used for?

Neo Emedyl Dragees contain the active ingredients dimenhydrinate and caffeine. Dimenhydrinate is a proven active ingredient against dizziness, nausea and vomiting. It acts directly on the balance center and the vomiting center in the brain and is suitable for the prevention and treatment of symptoms of motion sickness, such as dizziness, nausea and vomiting when traveling by ship, airplane, train, bus or car.

Caffeine counteracts the sedative effect of dimenhydrinate. It stimulates the cerebral cortex as well as the respiratory and circulatory centers and supports cardiac performance. One dragee contains approximately the amount of caffeine found in half a cup of filtered coffee or one cup of black tea. Caffeine can reduce fatigue.
