Medicine details
- CATEGORY OF BETASERC 16 MG TABLETS:
- • Anti-Vertigo Drugs
- MECHANISM OF ACTION OF BETAHISTINE:
- • The mechanism of action of a betahistine is known partially. Betahistine has a very strong affinity as an antagonist for histamine H3 receptors and a weak affinity as an agonist for histamine H1 receptors. Also, betahistine increases blood flow to the brain.
- NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENTS & ADVICE TO REDUCE VERTIGO:
- • Ginkgo biloba has been studied for its effects on vertigo and found to be as effective as the leading prescription medication to treat vertigo. Gingko Biloba extract can be purchased in liquid or capsule form for example Ginkozac Capsules
- • Some conditions that causes vertigo can be triggered by stress.
- • Physical therapy like yoga performed in an outpatient setting trains your brain to compensate for the cause of your vertigo
- • Adequate amount of sleep
- • Sometimes vertigo is caused by simple dehydration. Reducing your sodium intake may help. But the best way to stay hydrated is to simply drink plenty of water
