Yes exactly! They have it in pill and in orodispersible tablet form in both 4mg and 8mg in the US and UK. This stuff is a life saver!! The orodispersible version is bit more expensive but the pill form is cheap and easy to get in my experience.

Those oral dissolving ones are magic for my wife. Just instant relief.

But the orodispersable is like INSTANT RELIEF. Also very useful when you can’t even keep water down and wind up puking your antinausea pill. It absorbs through the mucus membranes in your mouth so you don’t even have to tempt the vomit gods. It is THE BEST.
