    Joy Rides tablets are an effective treatment to prevent travel sickness, otherwise known as motion sickness. It belongs to a collection of medications known as antimuscarinics or anticholinergics, and works by preventing messages from being sent to the inner ear (vestibular system) to the part of your brain named the 'vomiting centre'. Joy Rides tablets also control vomiting symptoms by delivering nerve messages to your stomach that usually induce retching. Joy Rides tablets can be taken by most children (3 years and over), and adults. The active ingredient is hyoscine hydrobromide which works on the brain to discourage messages of travel sickness from entering your gut.
