Motion Sickness
Whether it hit you on the boat, in the car, or on a flight, motion sickness can ruin your plans. This IV delivers fast-acting anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory relief so you can get moving again.
What's Inside
How It Helps
Motion sickness happens when your brain receives conflicting signals from your eyes, inner ear, and body. The result is nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and cold sweats that can persist long after you step off the boat or out of the car. Oral medications often fail because your stomach cannot absorb them when you are already nauseous.
Our Motion Sickness IV bypasses your digestive system entirely. Zofran stops the nausea signal, Methylprednisolone reduces inflammation, and Vitamin B6 supports your nervous system. Combined with hydration and magnesium, most patients feel significantly better within 30 minutes of starting the infusion.
For boaters, the dock beats the doctor's office
This is a Gulf Coast problem more than most. A half day offshore on a charter, a tarpon trip, or a family outing on the water can leave the whole group green by the ride back, and seasickness is miserable in a way that ruins the rest of the day. The most useful timing is often before you sail or right when you step off, at the marina, instead of trying to push through it on the boat.
One caveat worth saying out loud: brief motion sickness is normal, but recurring vertigo, spinning, or balance trouble that shows up without any motion is a different issue that points to the inner ear, not a boat. That is worth a real evaluation rather than an IV, and the physician screening at the start of every visit is there to catch that distinction.
