Composition

Betahistine (16 Mg)

Betahist Forte Tablet 10 is used to treat Ménière's disease and other vestibular disorders. It helps alleviate symptoms such as dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), hearing loss, and nausea by improving blood flow in the inner ear and reducing fluid buildup.

This medicine can also be used for vestibular disorders and motion sickness. It is particularly helpful in reducing the frequency and severity of vertigo attacks and may also provide some relief from tinnitus and hearing loss in individuals with Ménière's disease.

Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this. If you experience any side effects while on this medication, notify your doctor immediately. Remember to continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Betahist Forte Tablet 10 is used for the management of Ménière's disease.

Swallow the whole tablet with a glass of water.
Avoid crushing or chewing the tablet.
Don't take more than the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.
It's important not to stop taking this medicine without speaking to your doctor first.

Betahist Forte Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Here are some common side effects you may experience while taking Betahist Forte Tablet 10:

Headache
Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal pain
Diarrhoea
Skin reactions
Weight gain
Agitation: This could make you feel restless or unable to sit still.
Dyspepsia: This is a term for indigestion that can cause bloating or discomfort in your stomach.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Betahist Forte Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are a few tips to help manage some of these side effects:

Dyspepsia: Taking this medicine with meals can help lessen the discomfort.
Diarrhoea: Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day.

Betahist Forte Tablet 10 contains betahistine (16 mg). Here's how it works:

Vasodilation: Betahistine acts as a histamine H1 receptor agonist. This means it dilates the blood vessels and capillaries in your inner ear. This action enhances blood flow and reduces fluid pressure.
Inhibition of Vestibular Nuclei Activity: Betahistine is also a histamine H3 receptor antagonist. By blocking these receptors, it increases histamine release in the vestibular nuclei. This dampens their electrical activity, suppressing signals that cause vertigo and unsteadiness.

These mechanisms help restore balance in the inner ear fluid, known as endolymph, helping manage symptoms of Ménière's disease with minimal impact on other body parts.

Pregnancy

Betahist Forte Tablet 10 should be used with care if you are pregnant. This medicine should only be used if the potential benefits outweigh the risks. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
