Kwells Kids Tablets Pack of 12

Travel sickness, often called motion sickness, occurs when the brain receives conflicting signals from the eyes and the delicate balance organs in the inner ear. This sensory mismatch can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like nausea and vomiting, which can quickly turn an exciting trip into a miserable experience for children and parents alike.

Kwells Kids Tablets work by delivering hyoscine hydrobromide, an active ingredient that temporarily reduces the effect of movement on the balance organs of the inner ear and the nerves responsible for nausea. Because Kwells Kids tablets melt quickly in the mouth, the active substance is absorbed into the bloodstream very rapidly. This means they can be taken just 20-30 minutes before travelling, or even at the very first signs of sickness, to provide prompt relief.
