₹111.60
Betahistine 16 mg tablets are primarily used to treat the symptoms of Ménière’s disease, including dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and hearing loss. It works by improving blood flow in the inner ear to reduce excess fluid pressure.
Key Details
- Uses: Treatment of Ménière’s disease and associated symptoms such as vertigo, nausea, tinnitus, and balance disorders.
- Dosage: The usual starting dose for adults is 8 to 16 mg three times daily (total daily dose should not exceed 48 mg), taken preferably with or after meals to minimize stomach upset.
- Mechanism: As a histamine analogue, betahistine works as a partial H1-receptor agonist and an H3-receptor antagonist, which increases blood flow in the inner ear and reduces pressure build-up.
- Availability: It is a prescription-only medication.
- Common Side Effects: Nausea, indigestion (acid reflux), stomach pain, bloating, and headache.
Important Precautions
- Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have a stomach ulcer, asthma, or low blood pressure before starting treatment.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as the risks and benefits need to be carefully weighed.
- Interactions: Betahistine may interact with certain other medications, including some antihistamines and monoamine-oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
- Alcohol/Diet: It is best to limit alcohol and a high-salt diet as they may worsen Ménière’s symptoms or side effects.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions on dosage and duration of treatment. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without consulting a healthcare professional first.
