B Citam Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat vertigo or Meniere's disease by promoting better blood flow in the inner ear and protecting the brain and nerves during oxygen shortage.

How it Works:
B Citam Tablet is a combination of five medicines: Betahistine, Vitamin D3, Ginkgo Biloba, Piracetam, and Vinpocetine. Betahistine improves blood flow in the inner ear, reducing the pressure of excess fluid. Vitamin D3 is added as its deficiency may cause Meniere's disease. Ginkgo Biloba and Vinpocetine increase blood flow to the brain and protect it from damage by harmful chemical substances (free radicals). Piracetam protects the brain and nervous system against shortness of oxygen and affects various channels on nerve cells.
