SEVERT 8/16 - Betahistine Dihydrochloride 8mg & 16mg Tabs

Composition Each tablet contains: Betahistine Dihydrochloride 8mg & 16mg Tabs Product Description Amikacin Betahistine dihydrochloride is a medicine that closely resembles the natural substance histamine. Mechanism of Action It works directly on histamine receptors. These receptors are found in blood vessel walls, including those in the ear. By activating these receptors, a process is started which results in the widening of blood vessels. This improves circulation, reducing the pressure in the ear. Pharmaco Kinetics The mean plasma half-life is 3-4 hours, and excretion is virtually complete in the urine within 24 hours. Plasma protein binding is very low.

Indications Its main use is in treating Meniere's disease. It helps in relieving the inner ear pressure and by reducing the frequency and severity of nausea and vertigo attacks. It also reduces ringing in the ears (tinnitus) thus helping to restore normal hearing. Dosage Betahistine comes in tablet form and should be taken orally. Contra Indication It is contraindicated for people with peptic ulcers or tumours of the adrenal gland. People with bronchial asthma should be closely monitored. Special Precautions Drug Interactions Adverse Effects No sedation/drowsiness, Doesn't impair driving performance, Low level of gastric side effects, No significant antidopaminergic effects, Nausea can be a side effect, but the patient is generally already experiencing nausea due to the vertigo so it goes largely unnoticed Packing A strip of 10 tablets
