How it works
Purevert 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). Purevert 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 of the inner ear that affects balance and hearing. Symptoms include vertigo (dizziness), fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and pressure in the ears. It can also cause nausea and vomiting. Treatment for Meniere's disease is individualized. Consulting with a healthcare professional to develop the best treatment plan based on individual needs is crucial.
Is Purevert 16mg Tablet effective?
Purevert 16mg Tablet may be effective if used according to your doctor's instructions. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor, even if symptoms improve. Abruptly stopping the medication may worsen symptoms or lead to recurrence.
What are the triggers for Meniere's disease?
Triggers for Meniere's disease vary but can include stress, fatigue, emotional distress, additional illnesses, and changes in air pressure. Certain foods like dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, and high-sodium foods may also trigger symptoms. A low-salt diet (2 grams per day) may help reduce vertigo associated with Meniere's disease.

Is stress a reason for vertigo?
Yes, mental stress can trigger vertigo. It may worsen existing dizziness and make some types of vertigo more prominent. However, it is not a primary cause of vertigo in itself.

Vertigo can be caused by sudden drops in blood pressure, dehydration, or difficulty transitioning from sitting to standing quickly.
