Description
Vertin 16 Tablet is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of Meniere’s disease, a condition of the inner ear. It helps relieve symptoms such as ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, vertigo, hearing loss, and loss of balance. The active ingredient in Vertin 16 is betahistine, which works by improving blood circulation in the inner ear and reducing pressure inside it, thereby providing relief from symptoms.
This medicine should always be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose and duration depend on your medical condition and response to treatment. Taking the tablet regularly at the same time each day helps maintain its effectiveness. Do not change your dose or stop taking the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor.
Like most medicines, Vertin 16 Tablet may cause some mild side effects, including nausea, headache, or indigestion. These effects usually go away on their own as your body adjusts to the treatment. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, it is important to consult your doctor for further guidance.
Before starting Vertin 16, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding, as special precautions may be required. Additionally, please provide details about your medical history, particularly if you have asthma, stomach ulcers, or low blood pressure, as well as any medications or supplements you are currently taking. This helps avoid unwanted interactions or complications.
For best results, take Vertin 16 Tablet regularly and follow your doctor’s advice closely. Along with treatment, lifestyle changes like avoiding smoking, alcohol, and caffeine may also help reduce the frequency of vertigo attacks. With proper use, Vertin 16 can significantly improve daily functioning and quality of life in patients with Meniere’s disease.
