AB  - Question Dimenhydrinate is an over-the-counter drug that is commonly used for the treatment of nausea and vomiting. Many of my adult patients use it, but is it safe and useful in the pediatric population? Answer Dimenhydrinate appears to be safe for use in the pediatric population. While little literature has been published about adverse effects of this medication, family physicians need to identify the cause of the vomiting before considering if the drug will be effective and need to ensure that patients safely use the medication and avoid potential interaction of the drug with other products.
