Joy-Rides Chewable Fruit Flavoured tablets (12 Tablets):

(In the interest of fairness, there is a ONE BOX per transaction policy. This is due to the very short supply of this product).  

Joy-rides Chewable Fruit Flavoured tablets contain the active ingredient hyoscine hydrobromide, which is a type of medicine called an antimuscarinic (or anticholinergic). It is used to prevent travel sickness.

Travel sickness is believed to be a result of the brain receiving conflicting information about what the body senses is happening and what the eyes see is happening. In the inner ear are three fluid filled canals called the vestibular system. These detect changes in the body's position. Motion sickness is thought to occur when the vestibular system sends messages to the brain telling it that the body is being moved around, while the eyes send messages that the body is stationary.

Hyoscine hydrobromide is thought to prevent motion sickness by stopping the messages sent from the vestibular system from reaching an area of the brain called the vomiting centre. This area of the brain co-ordinates the vomiting reflex. Hyoscine blocks receptors called muscarinic (or cholinergic) receptors that are found in the vomiting centre. This prevents the vomiting centre from sending nerve messages to the stomach that would normally cause vomiting. Hyoscine needs to be taken before travel to be most effective, as once feeling sick or vomiting has started it is more difficult to control, particularly with tablets that need to be kept down.

Joy-rides tablets should be taken around 20 minutes before travel to be most effective at preventing sickness, however they can also be taken once a journey has started if you begin to feel sick. For long journeys the dose may need repeating.
