Glostin 16mg Tablet is a histamine analog. It works by improving the blood flow in the inner ear, which reduces the pressure of excess fluid. This helps alleviate symptoms like nausea, dizziness, and spinning sensations associated with Ménière's disease. Additionally, it dampens the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain, relieving the symptoms.
