How it works
Floxhybet 16mg 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). Floxhybet 16mg 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 balance and hearing organs in the inner ear. It causes symptoms like vertigo (dizziness), fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and pressure changes in the affected ear. This can lead to nausea and vomiting as well. Treatment for Meniere's disease depends on individual cases. Discussing with a doctor is essential for the best treatment plan.
Is Floxhybet 16mg Tablet effective?
Floxhybet 16mg Tablet may be effective when taken as directed by your healthcare provider. It's crucial not to stop taking it prematurely even if you experience improvement in symptoms. If stopped too early, symptoms could return or worsen.
What are the triggers for Meniere's disease?
Factors that can trigger Meniere's disease include stress, overwork, fatigue, emotional distress, additional illnesses, and pressure changes. Certain foods such as dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, and high-sodium foods may also trigger symptoms. A low-salt diet (2 grams per day) can help manage vertigo associated with Meniere's disease.

Is stress a reason for vertigo?
Yes, mental stress can contribute to or worsen vertigo. While it won't cause vertigo on its own, it can make other forms of vertigo worse.
