Side effects

Vessels and heart	In patients with chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system, tachycardia and heart rhythm disturbances, fluctuations in blood pressure indicators are observed. More often, the drug leads to the development of hypotension, which only aggravates the manifestations of the nervous system.
Leather	Allergy to the drug does not develop as often. It manifests itself in the form of classic symptoms, that is, in the form of a rash, irritation, severe itching and burning. Patients often scratch the affected area, which damages the outer layer of the skin and increases the likelihood of tissue infection.

Negative reactions can significantly worsen the general condition of the patient and provoke other disorders. Usually, in children, the symptoms disappear on their own within a few days after refusal treatment, but adults in most cases require special treatment to normalize states.

Overdose

The drug can provoke an overdose when consumed in large quantities. Dryness of the oral mucosa is considered the first sign of this condition. Over the course of several hours, the condition worsens, there is repeated vomiting, severe weakness and upset stool.

Drug interactions

Analogs

Taking the medication in advance can slightly reduce the likelihood of complications during the trip.
• Desal acts due to the presence of desloratadine as the main active ingredient. The drug has antihistamine properties, helps to stop the symptoms of allergies, and prevents its progression. If it is required to prevent motion sickness in transport, other medicines are used, but sometimes the original remedy can be replaced by Desal.
• Ciel has the same composition as the original, has pronounced properties. It can be prescribed to eliminate signs of motion sickness in transport and prevent their appearance. The pronounced antiemetic properties of the drug appear 30 minutes after taking the pills. The medication is usually not used in courses, used only for its intended purpose or in order to prevent the appearance of certain symptoms.
• Air-sea - homeopathic medicine based on herbal components, which can be used to eliminate the symptoms of motion sickness in different types of transport. Unlike other drugs, the analogue acts mildly, does not help to quickly stop the symptoms. The drug is produced in the form of tablets for resorption, which must be taken 30 minutes before the trip and every 30-60 minutes during it. Many patients note the low effectiveness of the drug, others confirm the effectiveness and relative safety.

The choice of an analogue is made by the doctor. This takes into account the effect of the drug on the body of a particular patient. The patient alone cannot choose the remedies, especially with a tendency to allergies and other reactions.
