Yes, children aged 6 and above can use it. However, they should use only one patch at a time, and parents should monitor for any reaction during the first use. - How long does it take to work?
The patch typically starts working about 20–30 minutes after application. For best results, apply it before starting your trip. - Does the patch cause drowsiness like regular motion sickness pills?
No. Since it does not affect the central nervous system like oral medication, it won’t make you sleepy or interfere with driving or studying. - Can I use the VIO patch every day?
It’s safe for occasional, regular use, but daily overuse is not recommended. If you travel frequently, consult a doctor for suitable alternatives or a combined approach. - Is the patch waterproof? Will it fall off if I sweat?
