Vertiford-16 Tablet
Description
Vertiford 16 tablet is a medication used to treat Meniere's syndrome, a disorder of the inner ear. This condition can cause a range of symptoms, including vertigo (a sensation of spinning), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), hearing loss, and nausea. The active ingredient in this medication is betahistine, which works by improving blood flow to the inner ear and reducing the pressure that builds up there. It's important to use this medication as prescribed by your doctor and for the full duration of the treatment, even if your symptoms improve.
Before taking Vertiford 16, it is recommended that you discuss your medical history with your healthcare provider. It's crucial to inform them if you have any allergies to betahistine or other ingredients in the tablet. You should also tell them about any past or current stomach ulcers, asthma, or a rare tumour called pheochromocytoma. This medication is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18. It is also advisable to exercise caution if you have low blood pressure or suffer from hives, rashes, or hay fever, as this medication may exacerbate these conditions.
Vertiford 16 can be taken with or without food, but it is often recommended to take it after a meal to help prevent any mild stomach discomfort. You should swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water and not crush, break, or chew it. Consistency is key, so try to take it at the same time each day for the best results. If you happen to miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and continue with your regular schedule. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
While Vertiford 16 is generally well-tolerated, it's important to be aware of potential side effects, which may include headaches, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, indigestion, and bloating. If you experience an overdose, symptoms could include nausea, stomach pain, sleepiness, or even more serious complications affecting the lungs or heart. In such a case, you should seek immediate medical attention. It's also important to note that Vertiford 16 can interact with other medications, particularly antihistamines and those used to treat Parkinson's disease. Therefore, always inform your doctor about all the medications and supplements you are currently taking.
