How it works
Vernil 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). Vernil 8mg Tablet additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.

Meniere's disease is a disorder of the balance and hearing organs in the inner ear. It causes symptoms like vertigo (dizziness), fluctuating hearing, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and pressure in the ears. Dizziness can lead to nausea and vomiting.
