How Tourists in Japan Can Manage Motion Sickness Without Dramamine

Motion sickness can strike during car rides, flights, or sea travel—often unexpectedly. While Dramamine is a go-to option in many countries, travelers in Japan may find different names and formulations on pharmacy shelves. At BLEZ Pharmacy, we offer a range of effective motion sickness remedies under the Semper (センパア) and Travelmin (トラベルミン) brands. This article compares these with the familiar Dramamine to help you make a confident choice.

Overseas Favorite: Dramamine

Dramamine, commonly available abroad, contains dimenhydrinate as its active ingredient. It works as an antihistamine to prevent and relieve symptoms like nausea, dizziness, and vomiting. It’s widely trusted for short trips and long journeys alike.

Japanese Alternatives: Semper & Travelmin at BLEZ Pharmacy

At BLEZ Pharmacy, we offer several trusted Japanese alternatives for motion sickness, containing a different set of active ingredients that are equally effective.

🟩 Common Active Ingredients (in all products we carry):

• d-Chlorpheniramine maleate (d-クロルフェニラミンマレイン酸塩): An antihistamine to reduce allergic reactions and motion-related nausea.
• Scopolamine hydrobromide hydrate (スコポラミン臭化水素酸塩水和物): A classic ingredient effective in suppressing motion-induced nausea and dizziness.
