Motion sickness Motion sickness may affect travelers at any time during their trip. In most cases, symptoms can be minimized with use of dimenhydrinate (50 to 100 mg every 4 to 6 hours) or meclizine (25 mg every 6 hours) beginning at least 1 hour before motion. The transdermal scopolamine patch (Transderm-Scop) has returned to the market and is well tolerated. All of these medications have anticholinergic side effects, and they should be prescribed cautiously, especially in the elderly. Some patients have reported relief with pressure-point bands (eg, Sea Bands) worn on the wrist; however, objective evidence of benefit is lacking.

Sunburn Travelers to tropical areas are exposed to intense sunlight and dry conditions. The major cause of sunburn is exposure to ultraviolet B radiation. To block harmful radiation, travelers are advised to use a sunscreen containing para-aminobenzoic acid with a sun protection factor of at least 15. They should also wear long-sleeved, loose (preferably cotton) clothing; a wide-brimmed hat; and lip balm for dry or cracked lips. Infants and the elderly are particularly at risk and should be protected adequately. Persons taking certain medications (eg, sulfonamides, tetracycline, doxycycline, chlorothiazide [Diurigen, Diuril], phenothiazines, furosemide [Lasix], amiodarone hydrochloride [Cordarone], psoralens, nalidixic acid [NegGram], naproxen) may have an exaggerated sunburn response. Sunglasses with wraparound lenses should also be worn to protect the eyes against harmful ultraviolet radiation.
