Avomine Tablets 28s

Avomine Tablets 25mg

Avomine is a medicine which helps to prevent, and helps to stop, travel sickness. It is believed that travel sickness is caused when the brain receives different messages from the eyes, the stomach and the ears which seem to be inconsistent or conflicting. As a result you feel sick (nausea) and may vomit. Avomine works on the brain by blocking those messages which make you feel sick and which cause vomiting.
