About Devom

Devom Injection is an antihistamine used largely for the short-term management of nausea, vomiting or any dizziness due to vertigo. Devom injection is used when the medicine cannot be taken by mouth. The active ingredient in Devom is Dimenhydrinate, and it helps lessen the effects of the natural substance found in our body called histamine.

How effective is Devom?

Dimenhydrinate proves to be more effective in case of motion sickness rather than vomiting, as it works to block H1 receptors and thus decreases psychomotor alertness (associated with the movement of the body) as well as reducing the symptoms of allergy. It is advised not to use Devom Injection for newborn babies as there is a great risk of side effects, and it has overall less efficacy as well.

What dose should I choose?

The typical dosage is based on the severity of your medical condition and your symptoms. 

In common cases, a dose of 50mg of Devom is injected into the vein, or a muscle, as per the physician’s instruction. You can take it for a single symptom or a prolonged use over the course of a few days may be required in some cases. Normally, a dose of 50mg is prescribed to be taken after every 4 hours to help relieve the symptoms.

What are the side-effects and other warnings when taking Devom?

As Dimenhydrinate works to block your receptors and the action of the chemical histamine on your bronchial and GI smooth muscles, so this medicine is known to produce drowsiness when taken. Hence, it is recommended to avoid the use of operating any heavy machinery or driving. 

In some patients, Devom may cause:

• Drowsiness
• Drug rash
• Restlessness
• Dryness of mouth, nose and throat
• Blurred vision
• Incoordination
