Cinnarizine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat travel sickness, dizziness caused by inner ear problems like vertigo, and sickness caused by motion. It works by inhibiting contractions of vascular smooth muscle cells and blocking certain calcium channels. It should be taken orally three times a day. Cinnarizine may cause side effects like drowsiness, sweating, dry mouth, headache, and gastrointestinal irritation. Nurses need to monitor for somnolence and advise patients to use caution if taking other CNS depressants due to increased drowsiness.
