Advantages: brilliant at helping travel sickness in both adults and children

Disadvantages: I feel that after a while the body might make its own defence against it

My youngest son is 9 years old and a diagnosed DYSPRAXIC. For people who are unaware what this means, it simply is a term given to a clumsy child whose brains are there and are very clever yet take more time to do things than others.

He has poor balance at the best of times, and falls over a needle on occasions yet he loves to travel. He hates tablets even the sweetie chewy type for travel sickness and so I have to rely on medicine to do the trick.

He easily gets embarrassed if he throws up and you would agree if your child spent a day trip to the nearest town with a carrier bag hung over his ears like a nosebag.

I regularly use PHENERGAN and have done for the last two months just once a fortnight and yet something strange is happening. According to specialists Dyspraxic children often accompany inner ear balance problems as does travel sickness. However I would like to know if I am the only parent whose child has had to stop taking Phenergan because it has stopped working as a travel sickness medicine?

When it does work it is absolutely brilliant and I would recommend it to anyone who suffers with this complaint. But remember that as with all drugs ask the doctors or pharmacists and read the leaflet enclosed before taking it.
