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

These symptoms can be accompanied by dizziness, which may cause nausea and vomiting. The course of Meniere's disease varies from person to person. While it doesn't always go away completely, there are management strategies that can significantly alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
