Severt 16mg Tablet additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.

Dizziness often accompanies these symptoms, potentially leading to nausea and vomiting. While there is no guaranteed cure for Meniere's disease, treatments can help manage symptoms effectively. The best treatment approach should be determined by a healthcare professional through careful evaluation.
