How it works
T Hist 8mg 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). T Hist 8mg 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 affecting the inner ear, causing balance issues and hearing problems. Symptoms include vertigo (spinning sensation), fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and pressure in the ear. Additionally, dizziness may lead to nausea and vomiting. While Meniere's disease can be chronic, treatment aims to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. It is crucial to discuss treatment options with a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations based on individual needs.
Is T Hist 8mg Tablet effective?
T Hist 8mg Tablet is effective when taken as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you experience symptom improvement, as discontinuation may lead to recurrence or worsening of symptoms. Always follow the advised dosage and duration.
What are the triggers for Meniere's disease?
Several factors can trigger Meniere's disease, such as stress, overwork, fatigue, emotional distress, other health conditions, and sudden changes in pressure. Additionally, specific foods like dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, and high-sodium meals can trigger symptoms. A low-salt diet (2 grams/day) may help manage vertigo associated with Meniere's disease.

Is stress a reason for vertigo?
Stress can exacerbate existing vertigo symptoms, potentially making them more intense. However, it is important to note that stress alone does not cause vertigo.
What are the causes of vertigo?
Vertigo can be triggered by sudden drops in blood pressure or dehydration. Rapid changes in position (e.g., getting up quickly after sitting) can also lead to lightheadedness and a feeling of vertigo. Certain medications, inner ear problems like Meniere's disease, and acoustic neuroma, are other known causes. It is important to note that vertigo can sometimes be a symptom of other medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis or head trauma.
