Product introduction

Diligan 50mg Tablet is used to treat nausea, vomiting due to motion sickness. It is also used to treat vertigo (dizziness) caused by a disease that affects your inner ear. It works by blocking the action of a certain chemical in the brain that controls nausea, vomiting, and balance.

Diligan 50mg Tablet should be taken with or without food, but take it at the same time every day to get the most benefit. If you are travelling, then take it one hour before travelling.
