Question of Queasiness

[bunn]

Can anyone recommend a non-drowsy sea-sickness tablet that is available to buy in the UK? Philmophlegm had some really good ones in Iceland, but we don't know the brand, and a local pharmacy says no such things exist.

I tried to buy some Buccastem M OTC, for pp to try in the safety of the house - but the pharmacist refused to sell it to me as it is only licensed for nausea, not for sea-sickness, and she was worried about it interacting with pp's epilepsy treatment. In fact she didn't want to sell me anything, having heard the word 'epilepsy', and seemed on the point of telling me he should even avoid ginger biscuits!

As pp has been nomming ginger biscuits for many years without any sign of it affecting his epilepsy at all, I feel this is a risk he can probably handle...
