I agree with the Coca Cola recommendation for an upset stomach. My husband and I call it Cocacure 😀

 

Heh... good name! 😉 

 

I've never tried it for motion sickness, because I haven't ever experienced it (thus far, anyway).

But it does wonders for a queasy stomach.

However, hospitals keep offering ginger ale, so when I've had the misfortune to be in hospital, DH always gets permission to bring some Diet Coke in case I want some.  I usually get peculiar looks, but no physician has ever said "no" as long as I was allowed to sip clear liquids.

 

I think it was only once or twice that I heard about someone else who was given that "brown syrup" as a child decades ago...

 

Problem is, "Pepsi" doesn't do it, or maybe it's more because I just don't care for the taste? In this day and age of "Cola Wars" (the big, important things in the world, right!? 🙄 ), "The Real Thing" isn't always available. 😞

Is this by prescription only?

In most (if not all) of the US yes, we need a prescription.

 

A few years ago, the generics were not available  (that are covered by my insurance) and the name brand was all we could get- $90 for a few-then found out they are non-prescription in Canada and half that price.

 

We had family that frequently went to Canada to visit in-laws so that helped, now the generics are available here again
