Kwells sickness tablets

Kwells tablets are used to prevent travel or motion sickness. They are useful when travelling by car, boat, plane, or train. They can be sucked, chewed, or swallowed whole with a glass of water. They are designed to be taken 20-30 minutes before setting off on your journey to allow time for the medication to start working. This is important because the medication is more effective at preventing motion sickness than curing the symptoms once they've set in. Many people prefer Kwells tablets to travel sickness tablets like Stugeron that contain cinnarizine, as these tablets need to be taken two hours before you travel, which can be inconvenient, especially if you are travelling early in the morning. Kwells tablets are suitable for adults and children aged ten and above. Kwells Kids tablets are suitable for children aged four and above. Both products are available without a prescription.
