a brand name for a medication used to prevent and treat motion sickness and nausea.
A brand name created from 'diphenhydramine' + 'amine' (a chemical compound). It was trademarked in the 1949 for a motion sickness remedy and became so popular the brand name is now synonymous with the treatment.
Dramamine literally changed travel—suddenly car rides, cruises, and flights became bearable for people with motion sensitivity. It's wild that a single drug made tourism accessible to a whole population of nauseous people.
