    Journal: Duodecim; 2011; 127(13):1378-80. PubMed ID: 21834343.
    Abstract:
    Sea sickness was first described in 1881, and since then the syndrome has been described to be associated with travelling also in other means of transportation. Symptoms of motion sickness are quite common in otherwise healthy people. The symptoms are usually of short duration and last for not longer than three days. Children of 2 to 12 years are most susceptible. Women are more susceptible than men to motion sickness. Predisposing factors include menstruation and pregnancy. Scopolamine and antihistamines are used for prevention of motion sickness.
