What does it do?

Diphenidol hydrochloride is a drug ingredient used to relieve vomiting and motion sickness. It is included in medications primarily to control vomiting symptoms occurring in the gastrointestinal tract. This ingredient acts on the central nervous system to inhibit the vomiting response.

Diphenidol hydrochloride acts on the vomiting center in the brain to block vomiting signals. It also affects the part that regulates the sense of balance, alleviating motion sickness symptoms. As a result, it reduces vomiting and nausea.
