How it works
B-Stil 24 Tablet is a histamine analog. It works by improving the blood flow in the inner ear which reduces the pressure of excess fluid there. Excess fluid can send signals to the brain causing nausea, dizziness or spinning sensations (symptoms of Ménière's disease). B-Stil 24 Tablet additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.

Is B-Stil 24 Tablet effective?
B-Stil 24 Tablet is likely to be effective when used as prescribed by your doctor.

Please consult with your doctor regarding dosage and duration.
What are the triggers for Meniere's disease?
Triggers for Meniere’s disease may include: stress, fatigue, overwork, emotional distress, other illnesses, sudden changes in pressure (like altitude), certain foods such as dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, and high sodium foods. It is also important to note that some individuals may experience triggers from medications.
