Clinical Overview
Cinnarizine (20mg) and Domperidone (15mg) Tablets is a dual-action vestibular sedative and antiemetic combination. Cinnarizine acts as a selective T-type voltage-gated calcium channel blocker and H1-antihistamine, suppressing labyrinthine overstimulation in the inner ear. Domperidone blocks peripheral dopamine D2 receptors in the CTZ, preventing motion-induced and labyrinthine nausea. Indicated for vertigo, motion sickness, Meniere's disease, and peripheral vestibular disorders accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
