Now perhaps you mean to talk about "Seabands" or "Seasickness Bands" Best to make an appointment and speak with your doctor. There are side effects to the scopalamine patch, meclizine, bonine, and antivert!
Some are fairly mild ie. I would never drive the first 24 hours with the scopalamine patch too sleepy. I have taken all of the above due to vertigo issues. But please clarify them with your doctor. As a nurse I have cared for folks with side effects of the above medicines! Happy cruising! The worst he experiences is a small amount of blurred vision You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community.

Missymo Posted December 24, I had no side effects using Bonine. Ellusionz Posted December 25, Kimber DIS Veteran. Joined Feb 20, The only side effect I had was dry mouth. Other than that it worked fine. I still wear my seabands though too.
I'm very sensitive to motion. Joined Dec 1, We just take Bonine every night before bed, works great for us. Joined Nov 18, I use the patch every time. I get dry mouth and if it's a long time, my vision gets affected. It wears off quickly once you take it off and it's much better than throwing up constantly. Joined May 11, Just take Bonnine.
Barbydoll8 Offical Disney Dork. Joined Apr 29, I've done sea bands - nope. I've done over counter both Bonnine and dramamine - nope. Still got sick with both of those.
The patch is medication though and there are side effects. Dry mouth- yep. I bring a tumbler with me and fill it often. Blurry vision - yep. It is very slight for me so it's a non-issue.
What special precautions should I follow? Before using scopolamine patches, tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to scopolamine, other belladonna alkaloids, any other medications, or any of the ingredients in scopolamine patches. Ask your doctor or pharmacist, check the package label, or check the Medication Guide for a list of the ingredients. Be sure to mention any of the following: antihistamines such as meclizine Antivert, Bonine, others ; medications for anxiety, irritable bowel disease, motion sickness, pain, Parkinson's disease, seizures or urinary problems; muscle relaxants; sedatives; sleeping pills; tranquilizers; or tricyclic antidepressants such as desipramine Norpramin , clomipramine Anafranil , imipramine Tofranil , and trimipramine Surmontil Many other medications may also interact with scopolamine patch, so be sure to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, even those that do not appear on this list.
Your doctor will probably tell you not to use scopolamine patch. If you become pregnant while using scopolamine patches, call your doctor immediately. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how scopolamine patches will affect you. If you participate in water sports, use caution because this medication can have disorienting effects. Alcohol can make the side effects caused by scopolamine patches worse. Older adults should not usually use scopolamine because it is not as safe or effective as other medications that can be used to treat the same condition.
Apply the missed patch as soon as you remember it. Do not apply more than one patch at a time. Scopolamine patches may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away: disorientation dry mouth drowsiness dilated pupils dizziness sweating sore throat Some side effects can be serious.
