Kwells Tablets Pack of 12

Understanding Travel Sickness

Travel sickness, often known as motion sickness, occurs when your brain receives conflicting signals from your senses. Your eyes might tell your brain that you're stationary, while the delicate balance organs in your inner ear signal that you are moving. This confusing information can trigger symptoms like nausea, dizziness, and vomiting.

How Kwells Tablets 0.3mg Work

The active ingredient in Kwells Tablets Pack of 12 is Hyoscine Hydrobromide, at a strength of 300 micrograms. This substance works by temporarily reducing the effect of movement on the balance organs of the inner ear and calming the nerves responsible for nausea. Because Kwells tablets melt quickly in the mouth, the Hyoscine Hydrobromide is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, meaning they can start working in as little as 20-30 minutes before you travel or at the first signs of sickness.

Why Choose Kwells Tablets Pack of 12?

• Fast-Acting Relief: Melts in the mouth for quick absorption, providing swift prevention and control of symptoms.
• Effective Prevention: Ideal for use before journeys to prevent symptoms from developing.
• Convenient Pack Size: A handy pack of 12 tablets is perfect for travel.
• Trusted Brand: Kwells has been a reliable choice for travel sickness for years.
