Description
Betahistine HCL 8mg– Trytine-8 Tablets are made up of the drug named Betahistine which is used for Meniere’s disease. Betahistine is a medication used to manage vertigo, a common symptom of Meniere’s disease. It acts similarly to histamine, a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. Its primary function is to improve blood flow in the inner ear, which in turn reduces the pressure caused by an excess of fluid. This excess fluid can send signals to the brain, leading to symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, or a sensation of spinning – all common symptoms of Meniere’s disease. By enhancing blood circulation, Betahistine also lessens these nerve signals from the inner ear to the brain, thereby helping to alleviate the symptoms of Meniere’s disease.
Uses of Betahistine Tablets
Betahistine Tablets are primarily used to treat the symptoms of Ménière’s disease, a disorder of the inner ear that causes vertigo (dizziness), hearing loss, and ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Betahistine works by improving blood flow in the inner ear, which helps alleviate these symptoms. Additionally, Betahistine may also be prescribed to manage symptoms of vertigo associated with other inner ear disorders or conditions.
Precautions to use of Betahistine Tablets
Before taking Betahistine Tablets, it is important to inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking. Certain precautions should be taken when using Betahistine, including:
- If you are allergic to Betahistine or any other ingredients in the medication, avoid its use and consult your doctor for alternative treatment options.
- It is essential to discuss the potential risks and benefits of Betahistine use during pregnancy or breastfeeding with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.
- Inform your doctor if you have any pre-existing liver or kidney conditions, as dosage adjustments may be necessary.
- Betahistine may interact with medications that affect blood clotting, so it is important to inform your doctor if you have any bleeding disorders or are taking blood-thinning medications.
- If you are scheduled for surgery, including dental procedures, inform your healthcare provider about your Betahistine use, as it may interact with anesthesia and other medications used during the procedure.
Direction to use of Betahistine Tablets
Betahistine Tablets should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The recommended dosage and frequency of administration will depend on your medical condition and response to treatment. Generally, Betahistine is taken orally with or without food. It is important to swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water and not to crush or chew them. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but do not double the dose to catch up.
