The medicine usually begins to soothe your system and show its effect within 30 to 60 minutes. Try to lie down in a quiet space, breathe slowly, and let your body heal. Take gentle care of yourself and let the peace return to your body.

Typically, you will start feeling relief within 30 to 45 minutes of taking the tablet. If you are unable to keep the tablet down long enough for it to work, please speak to your doctor about alternative options. Keep taking very small sips of water in the meantime.

I used to panic so much when the vomiting wouldn't stop instantly after taking a pill. But I learned that Gravol takes a good 45 minutes to actually kick in and settle the stomach. Just give it a little time to work and try to stay still.

Haan, it takes about half an hour to forty minutes to start working, na. Don't expect it to work in two minutes and start drinking water immediately. Just rest quietly on the bed and let the medicine do its job first.

It usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes to show its full effect on the digestive tract. Once the nausea subsides, do not immediately eat heavy food; stick to very light things like barley water or thin khichdi. Always consult your doctor before taking any medication.

In my experience, when I took it for motion sickness and vomiting, it started working in about 30 minutes. The sleepy feeling also helped me rest through the worst of the nausea. That was my personal experience with how it worked for me.

Don't stress too much, it usually takes just about 30 to 45 minutes to start working and you'll feel much better. Just close your eyes, put on some light music, and try to rest. It will kick in soon and calm your stomach down.
