Excess fluid can send signals to the brain causing nausea, dizziness or spinning sensations (symptoms of Ménière's disease). Bevert 16mg Tablet additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.

Therefore, it is crucial to consult a doctor for proper treatment.
Is Bevert 16mg Tablet effective?
