How it works
Betin 8mg 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). Betin 8mg Tablet additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain, relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.
Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Betin 8mg Tablet to relieve vertigo (dizziness), hearing problems, and tinnitus (noise in the ear) 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. Take it at the same time each day to maintain a steady amount of the medicine in your body. Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcer, asthma, or low blood pressure. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without talking to your doctor first.
