Dimenhydrinate, the active ingredient in Gravol, works by blocking histamine and acetylcholine in the body. These substances are natural functions of the central nervous system but, when stimulated, can lead to nausea or vomiting. By blocking these substances, Gravol helps alleviate associated symptoms of motion sickness and has additional uses in the prevention of nausea from other sources.
