Q3: How quickly does ComforTrate start working?

Ans: After being given by mouth, ComforTrate Tablets are absorbed into the body, with peak levels in the blood reached in about 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This helps the medicine work in time to prevent vomiting when given before triggers like travel or certain treatments.
