Side Effects

Like all medicines, Kwells can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them. These can include a dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision and enlarged pupils. Reduced sweating may cause your temperature to rise, particularly in hot conditions.

If you feel sleepy or dizzy, or your vision is blurred, do not drive, cycle or use machinery. Do not drink alcohol while taking Kwells.

Restlessness, confusion and hallucinations have also been reported. People with epilepsy may experience more seizures. Contact your doctor immediately if you react badly to the tablets. Call NHS 111 for suspected serious side effects; call 999 for signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the tongue or throat.

Read the patient information leaflet for the full list of side effects and precautions.

Frequently asked questions about Kwells Travel Sickness Tablets

Take your dose up to 30 minutes before the journey to help prevent travel sickness. If you have already set off, Kwells can also be taken when travel-related nausea starts.

Adults can take one tablet every 6 hours if required, with no more than 3 tablets in any 24-hour period. Always follow the leaflet.

The product information describes an effect lasting about 4 hours. Leave at least 6 hours between doses and stay within the daily limits above; do not take another dose after only 4 hours.

This pack contains 12 Kwells tablets, each containing hyoscine hydrobromide 300 micrograms.

Children need an age-appropriate strength and dose. See our Kwells Kids page for children’s travel-sickness treatment.

No. You can order Kwells without a prescription, subject to eligibility. Complete the online pharmacy assessment when ordering so the pharmacy team can confirm that the medicine is appropriate for you.

Kwells may cause drowsiness. Do not drive if you feel drowsy.

Yes. You can take Kwells when travel-related nausea starts, so they can still be an option if you did not take a dose before setting off. Follow the recommended dose and leave at least 6 hours between doses.

Keep the vehicle well ventilated, avoid reading and try to keep your head still. Eat lightly before travelling, avoid greasy food and take breaks on long car journeys. Seek medical advice if vomiting persists, worsens or is not related to travel.
