Try original GRAVOLTM Comfort-Shaped Suppositories with dimenhydrinate, which are available in two dosage strengths – for 100 mg for Adults and 25 mg for Children ages 2+. GRAVOLTM Suppositories with dimenhydrinate are easy to use. Remove the foil or plastic from the suppository. For easier insertion and greater comfort, moisten, and smooth any edges on the suppository before using. Insert a half or whole suppository every 8 or 12 hours, or as recommended by your physician. To divide a suppository into two equal parts, remove it from the foil and use a knife with a sharp blade to cut through the suppository.
Adults can take GRAVOLTM Quick Dissolve Chewable and children can take GRAVOLTM Kids Quick Dissolve Chewable tablets or GRAVOLTM Kids Liquid without water.
This is dependent on the age and state of the child. If the child is younger, GRAVOLTM Kids Liquid may be more appropriate as the child is not required to chew anything. For children who are older, GRAVOLTM Kids Quick Dissolve Chewable tablets may be more appropriate as they are easy to chew and can be taken anywhere. If the child is already vomiting and they are no longer able to take oral medication, GRAVOLTM Kids Comfort Shaped Suppositories are the most appropriate option.
