Scopolamine transdermal Uses, Side Effects & Warnings
Physician reviewed scopolamine transdermal patient information - includes scopolamine transdermal description, dosage and directions.

I am a big fan of the Transdermal Scopolamine patch and have no problems with it, but I am a big guy well over 200lbs. Apparently vision problems is a known side effect of overdosing on the Scopolamine patch. I suspect your child is much smaller than me. You could check with your child's doctor. Perhaps it may be possible to cut down the size of the patch with scissors and reduce the dosage if the doctor agrees. You could also check with the manufacturer/pharmacist and see what they say about dosage, children and the patch. Do they have a patch that would deliver less of a dosage for children/smaller people? Sea sickness is miserable but best to be safe.

Those wrist bands are garbage. I saw hundreds of people hanging over the side puking while wearing them.
Meclazine, aka Bonamine is a brand name is the best by far and starts working in 20 minutes

Ginger Gravol. Very effective, safe, and no side effects or drowsiness. Couple of pills half hour before getting on the boat. Don’t get chewable ones as they do not taste good

Gravol and meclizine are different meds. I like meclizine. I got a bottle of Rugby brand 100 pills at US Costco when borders were open but it looks like you can find similar online.

My first time in Ucluelet i puked for three days straight. Someone suggested gravol with ginger and I’ve never been sick since.

Many years ago I was down in the Florida keys fishing when the camera man filming a TV show got very sea sick. I had to take over filming all day long. Every time I looked into the camera’s eyepiece I got sick. Never thru up, just sweaty, dizzy etc. That night I took the cameraman to a pharmacy and bought ginger tablets and wrist bands. Next morning we both took ginger and put on the wrist bands. NO more seasickness. Works every time for me. Also helps not to consume too much booze the night before and stay away from coffee In the morning before heading out - oh, and keep your eyes on the horizon.
My 2 cents

You lost me at no booze at night or coffee in the morning. Pretty inhumane

Probably better off to quite fishing or just tie up to the dock and stay there.
Thanks Gents, will take all the input into consideration.

No No. Was kidding about the no booze or coffee.
Didn't mean to offend. Just a dumb comment on my part.
Called for coho few times when it was rough out.

The drinking for me happens on shore once the boat is tied up

I think some posters here have Relief Band mixed up with the Accupressure elastic wrist bands
this wouldn't surprise me since reading comprehension among the usual suspects here is well....suspect.
Anyway I haven't tried the Relief Band but knew someone who worked a boat down off the coast of Oregon where it's rough as guts and she swore by it.

Myself I use Meclizine and it's effective but would consult a MD before giving it to a child.
