Introduction
Ashist 8mg Tablet is used to manage Ménière’s disease, a disorder of the inner ear characterized by vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss, likely due to fluid buildup. This medication helps alleviate these symptoms by reducing fluid levels in the ear. Common side effects include headache, nausea, and indigestion. It is important to take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor, and inform them if you have conditions like stomach ulcers, asthma, or blood pressure issues. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Directions for Use

How it works
Ashist 8mg Tablet is a histamine analog that improves blood flow in the inner ear, reducing the pressure of excess fluid. This helps alleviate symptoms like nausea, dizziness, and spinning sensations associated with Ménière's disease by dampening the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain.
