Best Sea sickness tablets

I will be doing a number of cruises in the future, including crossing the Drake Passage to Antarctica. I do get seasick but usually manage with seasickness wrist bands and ginger. If I am unfortunate and am on a "Drake Shake" crossing this will not be enough.

I have completed lots of research but cannot find anything that is not a RLS trigger. Any suggestions??

Zofran (ondansetron), Kytril (Sustol, Granisetron, Sancuso), Anzemet (Dolasetron), Transderm Scop (scopolamine, hyoscine), Kwells (Qwells) or Travel Calm both OTC are all safe for RLS.

Thanks Sue. I have not come across some of these. I will see what is available in my country.

Australia. Some of your suggestions are not available in Australia.

I checked each one and they are all available except Transderm Scop (scopolamine, hyoscine) and Kwells (Qwells) is prescription in Australia rather than OTC.

I’ve been using Sea Bands that I order from Amazon. On my first 3 cruises I got very ill and was even taken by a crewmember to the infirmary where they put me on IV anti nausea meds. Once I started wearing the sea bands I’ve never been seasick again. And I’ve been on 4 cruises since then.
