Symptoms: dry mouth, nose and throat, redness of the face, slow and difficult breathing, confusion, convulsions, hallucinations in children. If these symptoms occur, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Treatment: gastric lavage with a suspension of activated carbon (20-30 g), the appointment of a saline laxative (10-15 g of sodium sulfate), symptomatic therapy, with convulsions in children — phenobarbital (5-6 mg/kg), diazepam.
hypersensitivity to the components of the drug,
epilepsy,
acute exudative and vesicular dermatoses,
pregnancy (first trimester),
the period of breastfeeding.
With caution: convulsive syndrome, angle-closure glaucoma, prostatic hyperplasia, bronchial asthma, cardiovascular diseases, hyperthyroidism, stenosing peptic ulcer, pyloroduodenal obstruction and bladder neck obstruction.
Increases the effects of atropine, tricyclic antidepressants, catecholamines, barbiturates, alcohol, sedatives and hypnotics, neuroleptics, weakens the effect of corticosteroids, anticoagulants. Reduces the reaction to apomorphine. Reduces the depressive effect of acetylcholine on the heart muscle. The combination with bismuth preparations, scopolamine, painkillers and psychotropic drugs increases the likelihood of visual impairment. It is incompatible with ototoxic antibiotics (streptomycin, neomycin, biomycin, amikacin, kanamycin), because it can mask the symptoms of ototoxicity and contribute to the development of irreversible hearing impairment.

Meniere's disease.
Blocks histamine H1- receptors and m-cholinergic receptors of the central nervous system. Depresses the vestibular apparatus of the inner ear, acting primarily on the otoliths, in high doses - on the semicircular channels. It has an antiemetic, anorexigenic, sedative effect, eliminates dizziness.
After oral dimenhydrinate is well absorbed and distributed to organs and tissues. The effect of the drug manifests itself in 15-30 minutes and persists for 3-6 hours. About 78% of dimenhydrinate is associated with blood plasma proteins. Dimengydrinate is metabolized in the liver and is almost completely excreted in the urine within 24 hours. Small amounts are excreted in breast milk. T1/2 the amount of dimenhydrinate is about 3.5 hours.
