defyet Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I've heard people raving on about the Bova Compounding Sea Sickness Tablet (ET Fishing) that can be purchased from the chemist at Caringbah (Cincotta Chemist), which is made by Bova Compounding across the road from the chemist apperantly. Does anyone know if any Cincotta Chemist sell these tablets or only the one at Caringbah? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz_brett Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Not realy the answer to your question but may be of some help anyway... if you call Bova they will post them out to you. Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TunaSickle Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 They work a treat for me. The only tablets that actually work. You don't seem to get the dry mouth and feel sick still like other tablets. The chemist will express post them if you phone them on 95253044.

JimT Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 there is a thread from a couple of years ago on this forum as well. Antihistamines work but may cause drowsiness and dry mouth. Ginger tablets and other forms of ginger is natural and works well. Wrist bands which act on the pressure point for nausea on your inner wrist about 3 fingers down from the arm/hand junction in between the 2 tendons which come up when you make a fist. These bands work well for morning sickness as well. Regards Jim..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesgold Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yes the wrist bands work exceptionally well on some people, my missus used them when recovering from surgery, and when flying and her sister, who would chuck at 15km in a car,tried them and traveled 330 km by car then 3 hours by ferry, before she noticed she ain't chucked, and didn't so they are an option. And they don't affect 'fittness for work' or 'fitness to drive/skipper' issues either, as certainly in the mining industry, we are subject to medication declarations and drugs testing........Regards.johnno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captin Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I was one of these guys that tried to tuff it out whenever we went off shore, but after using the (ET) pills, there's no turning back. Best thing I ever did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
