Vertigen Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat symptoms of vertigo (dizziness and a spinning sensation), as well as associated nausea and vomiting. It is a combination of two active ingredients that work together to improve blood flow in the inner ear and restore balance.
Key Information
- Active Ingredients: Each tablet typically contains Cinnarizine (20 mg) and Dimenhydrinate (40 mg).
- Mechanism of Action:
- Cinnarizine: A calcium channel antagonist that prevents the narrowing of blood vessels in the inner ear, thereby improving microcirculation and blood flow to the ear.
- Dimenhydrinate: An antihistamine that blocks a chemical messenger (histamine) responsible for light-headedness and balance disturbances in vertigo.
- Uses: It is primarily prescribed for symptomatic relief of vertigo, including:
- Dizziness and a spinning sensation.
- Nausea and vomiting associated with vertigo.
- Symptoms related to inner ear disorders and Meniere’s disease.
- Administration: The tablet is for oral consumption and is generally taken with food to reduce the risk of stomach upset. The dose and duration should be strictly followed as prescribed by a doctor; do not stop abruptly without consultation.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
- Common Side Effects: May include drowsiness, sleepiness, headache, dry mouth, indigestion, or skin problems. Drowsiness is a common side effect, so caution is advised when driving or operating machinery.
- Precautions:
- Prescription Only: Vertigen is a prescription medication and should only be used under medical supervision.
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication, as it may cause excessive drowsiness.
- Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, asthma, ulcers, low blood pressure, or increased pressure in the eye (glaucoma).
