You never know when motion sickness may strike. Maybe you're a parent whose kid experiences it for the first time on a long road trip, or perhaps you're taking the first cruise of your life and never imagined you were the type to feel nauseous at sea. Some people get it just imagining a long flight.

Whatever the case, over-the-counter remedies like Bonine chewable tablets can offer relief from the typical symptoms of motion sickness — nausea, dizziness, sweating, vomiting, headache, and fatigue — without the level of drowsiness that comes from taking something like Dramamine. Plus, you only have to take a single dose per day, whereas Dramamine requires re-upping every 4 to 6 hours.

Obviously, I'm not a doctor, nor do I pretend to be one on the internet. Make sure you read and understand all of the warnings before taking Bonine. In particular, you should avoid drinking alcohol, operating machinery, etc. If you have prescriptions that you're worried about Bonine interacting with, or other health conditions that concern you at all, talk to your doctor about that first. Do your own diligence, people. (I'm starting to sound like one of those commercials, aren't I?)

With that out of the way, you can pick up various packs of Bonine on Amazon:

• 8-tablet pack ($3 add-on item)
• 16-tablet pack ($6 add-on item)
• Two packs of 16 tablets for a total of 32 tablets ($14 standalone)
