Description
Betahistine 16mg tablets are a medication used to help manage Meniere’s disease, a condition affecting the inner ear. Meniere’s disease can cause unpleasant symptoms like Dizziness (vertigo), Ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and Hearing loss. This medicine helps relieve the symptoms by reducing the amount of fluid.Betahistine is a histamine analog. It works by improving the blood flow in the inner ear which reduces the pressure of excess fluid there. Excess fluid can send signals to the brain causing nausea, dizziness, or spinning sensations (symptoms of Ménière’s disease). Betahistine additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain relieving the symptoms of Ménière’s disease.
How Betahistine Works:
1. Improved Blood Flow: It helps increase blood flow within the inner ear, reducing the pressure caused by excess fluid buildup.
2. Reduced Nerve Signals: It dampens down nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain, alleviating the sensations of dizziness and spinning.
Dosage and Administration: Betahistine 16mg dispersible tablets are typically taken twice or three times a day, with or without food. The tablets can be dispersed in water before swallowing. It’s crucial to follow your doctor’s specific instructions for dosage and duration of treatment.
Important Information: Betahistine can interact with other medications. Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Some potential side effects of Betahistine include nausea, stomach upset, headache, and rash.
