Betahistine Hydrochloride 16mg Tablets

Betahistine Hydrochloride Tablets: Betahistine is primarily indicated in the treatment of Meniere’s disease and its symptoms, including dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), feeling sick (nausea), and difficulty in hearing. Meniere’s disease is a medical condition that affects the inner ear, caused by the buildup of extra fluid inside the ear.

The active ingredient of Betahistine is betahistine, which works by improving the blood flow to the affected part of the ear and also by reducing the amount of fluid in the inner ear.

Common betahistine side effects include nausea, acid reflux or indigestion, bloating, mild stomach aches, and headache. Most of the unpleasant effects caused by this medicine do not need medical attention. However, in case these side effects worsen, one should seek medical help.
