Road Sick Remedies for Road Trips can make or break a journey. Canada Day has become synonymous with family gatherings, fireworks and cross-country road trips. And, while it’s a day of celebration, long car rides and one too many Beaver Tails can leave many Canadians feeling not-so-festive.
To help combat some of these ailments, below is a list of trusted, over-the-counter products. The best part? These products are all made in Canada! Cool, eh?
Road Sick Remedies for Road Trips
Gravol
If you have a family, you should be including Gravol as part of your medicine cabinet arsenal. For children who suffer from car sickness (or too many turns on the merry-go-round), try using GRAVOL Kids Quick Dissolve Chewables. These great tasting cherry-flavoured tablets offer the best in convenience and portability, eliminating the need to take with water and are great for the prevention and treatment of nausea, vomiting and dizziness due to motion sickness. For similar relief in adults, try using Gravol Quick Dissolve Chewables in great-tasting zesty orange-flavour.
For adults who prefer organic relief, GRAVOL Natural Source Ginger Liquid Gel Capsules are a Natural Health Product made with naturally sourced certified organic Ginger (the only medical ingredient) for the prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting. GRAVOL™ Natural Source™ Ginger Liquid Gel capsules are taste free, easy to swallow, and non-drowsy.
Fresh Air Pit Stop
Some times the best way to remedy car sickness is to grab a pit stop. Pull into a rest stop and walk around the parking lot for a few minutes to stretch your legs. Breath in some fresh air. Visit the washrooms if needed. Buy some water for some needed hydration.
Ovol
Ovol™ helps to relieve one of the most embarrassing (and painful) stomach problems – gas! Ovol Ultra Strength Softgels work quickly to break down trapped gas in the stomach and intestines. It helps gas bubbles fuse together making them easier to get rid of through belching or flatulence.
To relieve a baby’s gassy tummy, Ovol Drops provide gentle and fast relief of colic, bloating and gas. The pleasant mint-flavoured drops make them easy for parents to administer.
Diovol
Nothing ruins a great meal more than the discomfort of heartburn, acid indigestion and gas. Diovol Liquid Plus Mint and Diovol Tablets Plus Tropical Fruit doesn’t stop the body from its naturally producing acid – it reacts to neutralize or buffer existing excess stomach acid.

I am so lucky that our kids for the most part have no travel sickness!! Amazing cause I was really bad as a kid.
all i gotta say is thank goodness for gravol! for my daughter and myself. my stomach always feels horrible when we drive for long periods and my oldest got sick a few times. now we know to take our gravol before we leave on a long car ride
As someone who got car sick as a child and still sometimes experiences nausea I agree with your suggestions. I would also add, if and when possible, sit up and so that you can see out the front. Opening a window to get some outside air also helps me.
I used Gravol for my older child during travel; worked brilliantly. But for younger child, it did the opposite and worked as a stimulant (that kid drove us nuts with how hyper he was).
Luckily I don’t get motion sickness but I know what it’s like to have nausea and for me there’s almost nothing worse which is why I love Gravol
