Kwells

GP and surgeon, Dr Shane Charles (MBBS, MRCS, PgDip SEM) provides a simple explanation of the medication below:

'Kwells is a medication that provides quick relief of symptoms of feeling sick (nausea) and vomiting, especially when travelling. '.

If you think Kwells is a treatment that can help you, start an online consultation now for a registered prescriber to review. If treatment is deemed suitable, they can prescribe it, and we can deliver it to you from the comfort of your own home with a range of convenient delivery and payment options for you to choose from. If you have any questions about a medication, you should always consult your doctor with any questions prior to starting treatment, to ensure that it is safe and suitable for you.

Kwells is an antiemetic drug, used to prevent sickness and nausea (especially motion sickness and vertigo).

Kwells contains hyoscine hydrobromide which temporarily blocks the effect of movement on the balance organs in the inner ear. This process blocks the nausea and prevents you from feeling sick.

While travelling can be exciting, people who suffer from motion sickness can struggle with daily life. Whether they are affected on planes, cars, trains, buses or boats, it all falls under the umbrella of motion sickness and it disrupts travelling rather a lot.

Taking Kwells ensures you can travel without worries of feeling unwell.

Always follow the guidance given in the enclosed patient information leaflet and be sure to read it before commencing use of the medicine.

Take Kwells by sucking, chewing or swallowing the tablets whole with water, with or without food. You can take them up to 30 minutes before travelling.

Kwells dosage

The recommended dose of Kwells is one tablet every six hours, as required. Do not take this medicine more than 3 times within 24 hours.

If you take more Kwells than you should then contact a doctor or your nearest emergency department. Symptoms of overdose include a fast or irregular heartbeat, blurred vision and hallucinations.

Before taking this medication, you should always first check that it is suitable for you and any of your associated medical conditions. Do not take Kwells if you have:

Do not take Kwells if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. You should also avoid alcohol while taking Kwells, as the drug can add to the alcohol’s effects.
