This medicine works by calming the balance system of the inner ear and the part of the brain that controls nausea, which eases the spinning sensation, dizziness and nausea. It is also used for dizziness and nausea linked to inner ear problems such as Meniere's disease and labyrinthitis.

For vertigo, move slowly when changing position and sit or lie down at the first sign of dizziness. For travel, sit facing forwards, look at the horizon and take fresh air where you can. Avoid heavy meals before travelling and avoid alcohol, which increases drowsiness.
