[Pharmacoprophylaxis of sea-sickness syndrome with the help of homeopathic drug "Avia-more"].

Abstract

Anti-sea-sickness effect of a new homeopathic drug [see text] and its influence on operator's working capacity during Coriolis acceleration was evaluated in blind placebo-controlled investigation conducted in practically healthy volunteers with low vestibular resistance. For comparison "Dimenhydrinate" was used. The investigation has demonstrated that [see text] has rather strong anti-sea-sickness effect, is comparable with dimenhydrinate effectiveness and prevents the development of disorders in sensory-and-motor and cognitive functions during the influence of static-and- kinetic loads. According to the data obtained the protective action of [see text] is most likely connected with adaptive effect on organs and systems that form the functional protective system against sea-sickness. The negative influence of the drug on CNS complex functions was not observed that allows recommending its prophylactic use in subjects with low sea-sickness resistance including the operators.
