Works wonderfully. Takes away the N/V and cramping associated with stomach problems. I usually just have to take a half dose. I do have a 2 year old so I'm a little paranoid about being drowsy. This seems to work for me.

Doc prescribed this medicine for me when I was sick with a severe stomach virus. Later on, I ended up using it again when I had to take a regimen of antibiotics that I didn't tolerate too well.
