How it works
R Vert 16mg Tablet DT 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). R Vert 16mg Tablet DT additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.
