Introduction
Aver 16 Tablet is used to manage and treat Ménière’s disease, a disorder of the inner ear characterized by symptoms such as dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and hearing loss. The medication works by reducing the amount of fluid in the inner ear, thereby alleviating these symptoms. Common side effects include headache, nausea, and indigestion. It is important to take this medication as prescribed by your doctor, and not to discontinue it abruptly. Consult your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, asthma, or blood pressure issues, and inform them if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. Aver 16 Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Aver 16 Tablet is a histamine analog that improves blood flow in the inner ear, reducing the pressure of excess fluid. This helps alleviate symptoms of Ménière’s disease such as nausea, dizziness, and spinning sensations by dampening the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain.
