How it works
Niavert 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). Niavert 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 affects the balance and hearing organs in the inner ear. It causes vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and pressure in the ears. This can be accompanied by dizziness, which may lead to nausea and vomiting. While Meniere's disease is not curable, treatment options are available to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. A discussion with a doctor is essential to determine the best treatment approach for your specific case.
Is Niavert 16mg Tablet effective?
Niavert 16mg Tablet can be effective when used in the prescribed dose and duration by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you start to feel better, as this could lead to symptom recurrence or worsening.
What are the triggers for Meniere's disease?
Triggers for Meniere's disease include stress, fatigue, emotional distress, additional illnesses, and changes in air pressure. Certain foods such as dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, and high-sodium food items may also trigger symptoms. A low-salt diet of 2 grams per day can help control vertigo associated with Meniere's disease.
What if I forget to take a dose of Niavert 16mg Tablet?

Is stress a reason for vertigo?
Yes, mental stress can trigger vertigo. This can exacerbate existing forms of vertigo but does not inherently cause it on its own.
What are the causes of vertigo?
Vertigo is often triggered by sudden blood pressure drop or dehydration. Feeling lightheaded when transitioning from lying to sitting or standing can also lead to vertigo.

It's important to note that some cases of vertigo may be a symptom of other disorders such as multiple sclerosis or head trauma.
