Anti vertigo drugs

Cinnarizine provides faster relief of various symptoms of cerebral and peripheral circulation disorders and prevents attacks of vascular headache such as migraine. Cinnarizine normalizes cerebral circulation time and curves and improves cerebral irrigation in patients suffering from cerebral circulation disorders. Cinnarizine normalizes arterial pulsations in patients suffering from vasospastic disorders (Raynaud's disease). Cinnarizine significantly increases the rate of inflow of pulsations and the blood flow in the most affected limbs as well as the walking distance of patients suffering from intermittent claudication. Cinnarizine reduces the healing time of crural ulcers. Cinnarizine reduces or eliminates symptoms of vestibular disturbances like, vertigo, tinnitus and autonomic manifestations (nausea, vomiting, pallor and cold extremities) and reduces or prevents future episodes.Dimenhydrinate acts as antihistamine with anti-cholinergic properties.The substance exhibits the anti-emetic & anti vertigo effects through influencing the chemoreceptor trigger zone.

Usual adult dose: 1 tablet three times daily to be taken with liquid after meal or as advised by the physician. Children (under the age of 18): Not recommended.

Concurrent use of alcohol, CNS depressants or tricyclic antidepressants may potentiate the sedative effects of either these drugs or of Cinnarizine and Dimenhydrinate. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid these drugs while taking Cinnarizine and Dimenhydrinate.

Anti vertigo drugs

This contains two active ingredients Cinnarizine and Dimenhydrinate. The two substances belong to different groups of medicines. Cinnarizine is part of a group called calcium antagonists. Dimenhydrinate belongs to a group called antihistamines. Both substances work by reducing symptoms of vertigo (a feeling of dizziness or spinning) and nausea (feeling sick). The combination product is more effective than the individual compounds.

Dimenhydrinate and cinnarizine should not be used during pregnancy and lactation.
