ACTIVE INGREDIENT Betahistine Dihydrochloride

Discover relief with Betaserc, a trusted medication featuring the active ingredient betahistine, designed specifically for the management of vertigo. If you struggle with feelings of dizziness, imbalance, or the unsettling sensation of stationary objects moving around you, Betaserc can enhance blood circulation in the brain and inner ear?crucial components of your balance system?offering you the comfort you seek.

Not only does Betaserc effectively address vertigo, but it is also beneficial for individuals dealing with tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and Meniere's disease, a condition impacting the inner ear.

While Betaserc can significantly reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes, it is essential to note that it does not provide complete prevention.

Before starting Betaserc, consider the following precautions:

• Avoid if allergic to betahistine or related medications.
• Not suitable for individuals with a pheochromocytoma (adrenal gland tumor).

Patients with asthma or gastric/duodenal ulcers should use this medication with extra caution.

Betaserc may be prescribed during pregnancy only if the potential benefits to the mother outweigh any risks to the fetus, given the limited safety data available. Its effects during breastfeeding are unknown, so it is recommended to avoid breastfeeding while on this medication.

Betaserc is available in various dosage forms:

• Betaserc 8 mg
• Betaserc 16 mg
• Betaserc 24 mg

The typical initial dosage is 8 mg taken three times daily, with the possibility of increasing up to 48 mg per day for optimal results. This medication is not recommended for children under 18. Remember to swallow the tablet whole without chewing, as this could impact its effectiveness. For best results, take it after meals to minimize any stomach discomfort.

Extended usage of Betaserc (ranging from 6 months to a year) may be advised based on your healthcare provider's recommendations. If dizziness persists, avoid operating heavy machinery or vehicles. Additionally, adopting lifestyle changes?like quitting smoking, eating healthily, and increasing physical activity?can greatly improve vertigo management.

Do not combine Betaserc with the following medications:

• MAO inhibitors (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) such as:
• moclobemide
• selegiline
• isocarboxazid
• phenelzine, among others.
• Antihistamines for allergies, including:
• dimenhydrinate
• diphenhydramine
• cinnarizine
• cetirizine, among others.

Always inform your healthcare provider about any medications or herbal products you are currently taking.

Potential side effects of Betaserc may include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Indigestion
• Abdominal pain
• Gas
• Headaches
• Low blood pressure
• Orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing)
• Allergic reactions, among others.

If you experience any adverse effects, please contact your healthcare provider immediately.
