What we'll ask you
6 short questions, most of them yes or no. Your answers go straight to the reviewing GP.
- When and how are you travelling?
- Do you have glaucoma or prostate problems?
- Are you pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive?
- Do you have any of: high fever, severe pain, breathlessness, confusion, or symptoms getting rapidly worse?
- List any drug allergies (or type 'none')
- Medicines you currently take (or type 'none')
When we'll say no
These answers stop the request and route you to a consultation instead.
- Some anti-sickness medicines are unsuitable — needs review.
- Prescribing in pregnancy or while breastfeeding needs a consultation.
- These symptoms need to be assessed by a doctor directly.
When to get seen in person or urgently
- See a GP if you have dizziness, vomiting or vertigo when you are not travelling — this is not motion sickness.
- Do not drive or operate machinery if the medicine makes you drowsy.
Common questions
- How early should I request motion sickness tablets?
- Give yourself at least a couple of working days before you travel so the pharmacy has time to dispense.
- Will it make me drowsy?
- Some options can. The GP explains what to expect, and you should not drive if you feel drowsy.
- How much does an online motion sickness prescription cost in Ireland?
- €25 for the GP review and prescription. Your pharmacy charges separately for the medicine. If the GP decides it is not safe to prescribe, the €25 is refunded in full.
- What happens if the GP cannot prescribe from my answers?
- You get a full refund of the €25, and the GP explains why. If a conversation would help, you can book a €39 video or phone consultation with an Irish-registered GP, usually the same day.
- Are there ways to reduce travel sickness without medicine?
- Look at the horizon, sit where motion is least (front of a car, middle of a ship), keep air flowing and avoid reading or screens while moving.
