What is Betahistine?
Betahistine Tablets are a prescription medicine used to treat symptoms of Ménière’s disease and other inner ear disorders that affect balance and hearing. These symptoms often include vertigo (a spinning sensation), tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and hearing loss. Betahistine works by improving blood flow in the inner ear, which helps reduce the pressure that causes these distressing sensations.
The tablets are typically taken two to three times a day, and are often used long-term to manage chronic conditions. While it may take several weeks before full benefits are noticed, many patients experience gradual relief from dizziness and improved ear function.
Betahistine is not a sedative and does not cause drowsiness, making it a practical choice for people who need to maintain alertness during the day. It is generally well tolerated, with mild side effects if any, and may be used alone or in combination with other treatments for balance disorders.
Each tablet contains betahistine dihydrochloride, the active ingredient responsible for its therapeutic effect. This dosage is a common starting and maintenance strength prescribed by doctors to help regulate inner ear function and relieve vestibular symptoms.
