Introduction
Betaript 8mg Tablet is used to manage and treat Ménière’s disease, a disorder of the inner ear characterized by symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. This 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 to inform them of any other medications you are taking, as well as any pre-existing conditions such as stomach ulcers, asthma, or blood pressure issues. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication.
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. Betaript 8mg Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Betaript 8mg Tablet is a histamine analog that improves blood flow in the inner ear, reducing the pressure of excess fluid. This helps alleviate symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and spinning sensations associated with Ménière's disease. It also dampens the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain, providing relief from these symptoms.
Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Betaript 8mg Tablet to relieve vertigo (dizziness), hearing problems, and tinnitus associated with Ménière's disease. It can only decrease the number and severity of attacks but may not completely stop them. Taking it with food can help reduce stomach problems.
