Who can and cannot take cyclizine

Most adults and children aged 6 years and over can take cyclizine.

Cyclizine is not suitable for some people. To make sure it's safe for you, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you:

• have ever had an allergic reaction to cyclizine or any other medicine
• have an eye condition called glaucoma
• have problems peeing or emptying your bladder
• have a condition that can lead to bowel obstruction, such as Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, hernias or colon cancer
• have liver problems
• have epilepsy or any condition that causes seizures or fits
• have high blood pressure or heart failure
• have a tumour called phaeochromocytoma
• have a serious blood disorder called porphyria
• are due to have an allergy test – cyclizine can affect your results, so you may need to stop taking it a few days before your test. Check with the clinic you're going to before you go
