Once you vomit means you will vomit again. This is the psyche of a patient. So break the cycle.
Take Avomine about 1/2 an hour before every hilly journey

Since meclizine hasn't worked for you, there are stronger prescription options available for motion sickness that your doctor can evaluate and prescribe based on your health profile. Non-drug measures like sitting in the front, focusing on the horizon, and staying hydrated can also help alongside medication.
Next Steps
Consult a doctor before your next trip to get the right prescription. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

The suggestion to use Acetazolamide is clinically inappropriate. Acetazolamide is indicated for the prevention and treatment of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), which is a hypoxic reaction to high altitude. The patient explicitly states she suffers from motion sickness (triggered by the physical motion of traveling on winding hills and mountain roads), which is a vestibular issue. Acetazolamide will not prevent kinetic motion sickness.
Advice
Tab. Cinnarizine 25mg OD 2 hour prior to journey
