Betahistine Tablets 8 mg
Betahistine is a synthetic structural histamine analogue that acts as a strong antagonist at histamine H3 receptors and a weak agonist at histamine H1 receptors. By blocking H3 autoreceptors in the inner ear and vestibular nuclei, it enhances local histamine release, dilating precapillary sphincters in the stria vascularis and microvasculature of the labyrinth, thereby reducing endolymphatic hydrops pressure. Indicated for Meniere's disease (characterized by the triad of vertigo, tinnitus, and sensorineural hearing loss) and symptomatic vestibular vertigo.
