Betahistine Description
What is Betahistine?
Betahistine is a medicine used to relieve vertigo symptoms linked to inner ear disorders. It is a synthetic compound related to histamine. In many countries it is prescribed for Ménière’s disease and other balance disorders. Tablet form is taken by mouth, often in divided doses across the day. It can help some patients feel less spinning and improve daily functioning.
How Betahistine works
Betahistine is thought to improve blood flow in the inner ear and influence the balance organs. It acts as an antagonist of H3 receptors and as an agonist at H1 sites, which may boost histamine activity in the inner ear. The result can be reduced pressure in the fluid spaces and steadier balance signals. Effects may take several weeks to become noticeable.
What it is used for
The main use is relief of vertigo symptoms from Ménière’s disease or similar conditions. Some patients experience fewer spinning episodes, less tinnitus, and slower progression of hearing disturbances. It is generally considered when lifestyle changes and other medicines alone do not provide sufficient relief.
How to take
Dosage and schedule are decided by a doctor. The usual range involves divided doses throughout the day, often 8 to 16 mg per dose, totaling up to about 48 mg daily depending on the country and patient needs. Take with meals if stomach upset occurs. Do not stop suddenly without medical guidance.
Possible side effects
Most people tolerate betahistine well. Common side effects include headaches, mild stomach upset, and a feeling of warmth or slight agitation. Some individuals may notice skin rash or allergic reactions. Rarely, sleep disturbance or dizziness can occur. Seek medical advice if you notice severe or persistent symptoms.
Precautions and interactions
Tell your doctor about all other medicines you take, especially drugs affecting histamine pathways or the nervous system. Betahistine is not advised in pregnancy unless clearly needed and after medical counsel. People with kidney or liver problems should be monitored closely. Alcohol may worsen dizziness in some cases. Always disclose medical history to your pharmacist before starting treatment.
Quality and storage
Use only under prescription requirements where applicable and purchase from reputable sources. Store tablets in a cool, dry place away from light. Check the packaging date and do not use damaged bottles. Follow the dispensing label and keep out of reach of children. If a dose is missed, do not double up without guidance from a health professional.
Choosing an online pharmacy
Online pharmacies should require a valid prescription and give clear information about the medicine, dosage, and possible interactions. Look for a licensed service, proper packaging, and transparent shipping policies. If anything feels unclear, contact a pharmacist before purchasing betahistine online.
