Consult your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers, asthma, or blood pressure issues, and inform them if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

How it works
Maxvert 8mg Tablet is a histamine analog that improves blood flow in the inner ear, reducing the pressure of excess fluid. This helps alleviate symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and spinning sensations associated with Ménière's disease. It also dampens the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain, relieving these symptoms.
