Question:
i am taking 1/2 a unisom in the mornings and evenings and it helps a little, but sometimes i still feel really nauseous. someone suggested i get some gravol and take that - can i take it as well as the unisom or do i take it instead of the unisom? also, i have the gravol long lasting caplets (100mg dimenhydrinate) - should i be taking the regular gravol instead?
thanks
Answer:
Talk to your doctor about proper doses. The standard dose is 4 tab/day, so you are
way under the recommended dose. You can also take
gravol when necessary in any formulation, with or
instead of the Unisom as they are in the same class of
drugs.
