About Dramamine

Dramamine is a dimenhydrinate motion sickness treatment discovered in 1947 when a patient being treated for hives reported that her car sickness had disappeared. It is the leading motion sickness brand in the United States. Prestige Consumer Healthcare owns it, and the accidental discovery led to trials on troop ships before the drug was sold commercially.
