The active component of Aviamarin is dimensionhydrinate, which blocks m-cholinergic receptors and histamine H1 receptors in the central nervous system.

- metabolism and excretion: Dimenhydrinate is metabolized in the liver, it is almost completely eliminated from the body in the urine within 24 hours. In small amounts, it can be excreted in breast milk. The half-life (T1 / 2) of dimensionhydrinate is approximately 3.5 hours.
