KWELLS - ok with other meds?

A little advice from fellow members please, especially any chemists amongst you.

I'm diagnosed AFib 2021, well controlled with meds. I take a cocktail of Bisoprolol 2.5, Apixaban 5 x2daily, Atorvastatin 20.

Am I ok to take Kwells for motion sickness? Only to take 1 or max 2 during the day, and only talking one day every 6-8 weeks.

Kwells has always worked in the past whilst other (different chemical make-up) don't. Sea-bands don't help either.

Any thoughts/advice about the very occasional Kwells tablet?

Speak with you local pharmacist who is qualified to answer your question.

Thanks for your quick response.

I realise that's the sensible thing to do, and will do just that, I simply wondered if there were others on the forum who may have had a similar experience

You can check this against all your medical conditions by going on NHS direct and putting Kwells into the search engine. The local pharmacist should know , although you could also ask your GP via phone appointment to prescribe you an appropriate motion sickness medication or Kwells. They'll give you the most ideal medication to take in combination with your other medications.

I would ask your Heart Team if you can take Kwells. They know exactly what is wrong with you and what medication you take.

Hi guinness1759 , you have been given sound advice on this forum, but just to add my pence worth, I did take motion sickness pills (another brand) whilst on bosoprolol and several other meds . I abjectly confess I felt so rough that I did not think about possible ramifications, though I did read the small print.! No ill effects from that,.best thought is what you have heard already check with pharmacist. Enjoy your trip

Thanks for this dawnz - having had a full assessment with the pharmacist I took the Kwells with no apparent ill effects, and yes they all seemed to work together. I'm only likely tio take on very odd occasions, so shouldn't be any long term issues.
