Uses for Stugeron 15mg Tablets

Stugeron 15 is used to prevent and treat travel sickness, helping with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and dizziness when travelling by car, plane, boat, or train. It can also help people with balance problems, such as dizziness from conditions like Ménière’s disease.

How do Stugeron Tablets work for travel sickness?

Stugeron travel sickness tablets contain cinnarizine, an antihistamine that works by blocking certain natural substances (histamines) in your body, which can cause nausea and vomiting. By targeting the underlying causes of motion sickness, Stugeron helps you enjoy your travel plans without discomfort.

Who can use Stugeron Tablets?

Stugeron is suitable for adults and children aged 5 and older. At Click2Pharmacy, we only sell this product for adult use.

It is not recommended for:

  • Children under 5 years of age.

  • Individuals who are allergic to cinnarizine or any other ingredients in the tablets.

  • Breastfeeding women. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor before use.

Before taking Stugeron, speak with your doctor or pharmacist if you have Parkinson’s Disease, porphyria (a hereditary blood disorder), liver or kidney problems, or if you are taking other medications, such as tranquillisers, tricyclic antidepressants, or hypnotics.
