How it works
Nelvert 24mg 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). Nelvert 24mg Tablet additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain, relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.
Quick Tips
Take it at the same time each day to maintain a steady amount of the medicine in your body. Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcer, asthma, or low blood pressure. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without talking to your doctor first.

Frequently asked questions

It causes symptoms like vertigo (dizziness), fluctuating hearing, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and pressure sensations in the ears. Dizziness can lead to nausea and vomiting.
