Seasickness pills, also known as motion sickness medication, are designed to alleviate or prevent symptoms associated with motion sickness, which can occur when the body's sense of balance is disrupted. The active ingredients in these medications vary, but one common type is antihistamines. Here's what you can generally expect from taking seasickness pills:


Reduction of Nausea and Vomiting: The primary goal of seasickness pills is to reduce or eliminate symptoms such as nausea and vomiting that can occur when you're in motion, such as on a boat or plane.


Drowsiness or Sedation: Many seasickness pills, especially those containing antihistamines like dimenhydrinate or meclizine, can cause drowsiness or sedation. This side effect can be beneficial for those who want to sleep through a journey but may be undesirable for individuals who need to stay alert.


Dry Mouth and Blurred Vision: Some people may experience side effects like dry mouth or blurred vision when taking seasickness medication. These effects are typically mild and temporary.


Interactions with Other Medications: It's important to be aware of potential interactions with other medications you may be taking. Always consult with a healthcare professional before combining seasickness pills with other drugs.


Most passengers, and especially crew, would like to avoid using medication. This could be due to other medications that they might be taking, the activities that they will be experiencing during or after their journey, and the responsibilities they have from crew to pregnant mothers who cannot take seasick medication.


This is the beauty of #SeeLEVEL: it's a non-medical seasick solution that can be applied as often as the user would like during a trip, with no side effects since you simply have to put on a VR headset and be transported to a virtual world free from the bobbing and dynamics of the vessel.
