Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar
Motion sickness can be defined as nausea and dizziness when one travels. The phenomenon can be caused by the confusion in the brain between the signals sent. Motion sickness meds are usually taken. However, Dulcolax is a laxative intended to be used for constipation treatment, not motion sickness. It may result in cramping and diarrhea. It is crucial to refrain from any other drugs and consult a gastroenterologist.
