How it works
Erivet 16 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). Erivet 16 Tablet additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.

Frequently asked questions
What is Meniere's disease? Does it go away?
Meniere's disease is a disorder affecting the inner ear, leading to problems with balance and hearing. Symptoms include vertigo (dizziness), fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and pressure sensations in the ears. While symptoms can vary, they typically cause significant disruption to daily life. Treatment strategies are personalized and depend on individual factors; a discussion with your doctor is crucial for determining the best course of action.
Is Erivet 16 Tablet effective?
Erivet 16 Tablet is effective when taken as directed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it before you have completed your full prescribed dose, even if you start to feel better. Stopping prematurely may lead to the return or worsening of symptoms.
What are the triggers for Meniere's disease?
Triggers for Meniere's disease can include stress, overwork, fatigue, emotional distress, pre-existing illnesses, and changes in air pressure. Certain foods like dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, and high-sodium food may also trigger symptoms. A low-salt diet (2 grams per day) might help control vertigo in those with Meniere's disease.

Is stress a reason for vertigo?
Stress can trigger vertigo symptoms, potentially worsening existing dizziness or balance problems. However, it is important to note that stress alone does not always produce vertigo.
What are the causes of vertigo?
Vertigo may stem from a sudden drop in blood pressure or dehydration. Being dehydrated can also cause lightheadedness upon standing up quickly from sitting or lying down.

It's important to note that vertigo can sometimes be a symptom of other conditions like multiple sclerosis or head trauma.
