Cyclizine anti-sickness medication

Yes – Cyclizine is commonly used to relieve nausea caused by GLP-1 treatments such as semaglutide (Wegovy®) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro®). It works by calming the balance centre in the inner ear and reducing activity in the part of the brain that controls vomiting.

Relief can begin within 30 minutes, helping to ease symptoms so you can stay consistent with your weight management plan. Cyclizine can be taken when needed (up to three times a day), but many people find they only need it during the first few weeks of GLP-1 treatment, if at all.

It may cause mild drowsiness in some people, though many tolerate it well without feeling sleepy. Complete the online assessment so our prescribers can determine if Cyclizine is a suitable option for you.

Cyclizine is suitable for adults and children over 6 years old and is typically taken with water, up to 3 times a day if needed. Your exact dose may vary depending on your symptoms and whether you’re using it to prevent nausea related to travel, illness, or GLP-1 treatment.

For adults, the usual dose is when nausea begins or can be used for travel sickness by taking one to two hours . If needed, another tablet can be taken after 8 hours, but no more than three tablets should be taken in 24 hours.

Complete the short online assessment so our prescribers can confirm the most appropriate dose and ensure it’s safe for your needs.

Cyclizine has few known interactions, but some medicines and substances can cause problems when taken alongside it. Always let us know what else you’re taking—prescription or over-the-counter—including any herbal or alternative remedies.

Take extra care if you’re using:

• Clozapine – risk of serious side effects
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) – such as tranylcypromine
• Strong painkillers – like morphine, which can increase sedation and slow breathing
• Other medicines that cause similar side effects – such as dry mouth, headaches, or urinary issues
• Alcohol – Cyclizine’s anti-sickness effects may make it harder to notice alcohol poisoning and can affect breathing and sleep
• Other antihistamines – including allergy medicines like cetirizine, loratadine, or chlorphenamine
