Ran out of Dramamine in China - was able to get "carsick paste"

Checked and could not find where else to post this. Ran out of Dramamine in Shenzhen China airport and after many attempts at conversation at the information desk the person took me to the First Aid station and they gave me what is called "Carsick Paste". It seems to be similar to the patches worn in the US, put behind the ear. Worked for me and cost 9RMB for 2 patches. The packaging is tricky and must be torn or cut to get to the patch. The first aid people worked hard to get this behind my ear and in the US you must have a prescription and cost about 30 bucks. You should remember that anyone touching the patch, in any country where it is used must wash their hands immediately so as to not transfer the medication to other areas. Saved me a queasy and maybe nasty flight.
