Material about "Stugeron" is in the link page above.
Note: the Scopolamine patches require a prescription and are expensive. The other drugs I have recommended are available without a prescription. Scopolamine is about $70 for a dozen, at wholesale. The retail pharmacies are about $10 and up each patch. Scopolamine is available in tablets and a gel, see the links above. All of this is expensive.
Ginger is a whole story unto itself. Ginger is available in soft drinks, cookies, etc. Also see the links above for medical studies involving Ginger.
