How it works
Vertid 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). Vertid 16mg Tablet additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain, relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.
Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Vertid 16mg Tablet to relieve vertigo (dizziness), hearing problems, and tinnitus (noise in the ear) associated with Ménière's disease. It can only decrease the number and severity of attacks but may not completely stop them. Taking it with food can help reduce stomach problems. Take it at the same time each day to maintain a steady amount of the medicine in your body. Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcer, asthma, or low blood pressure. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without talking to your doctor first.

Frequently asked questions
What is Meniere's disease? Does it go away?
Meniere's disease is a disorder affecting the balance and hearing in the inner ear. It causes symptoms like vertigo (dizziness), fluctuating hearing, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and pressure in the ears. These symptoms can be accompanied by feelings of nausea and vomiting. Treatment for Meniere's disease depends on various factors and requires personalized guidance from a doctor.
Is Vertid 16mg Tablet effective?
Vertid 16mg Tablet is considered effective when taken in the prescribed dosage and duration by your physician. Do not stop taking it even if you experience improvement in your condition. If you discontinue use prematurely, symptoms may return or worsen.
What are the triggers for Meniere's disease?
Triggers for Meniere's disease can include stress, overwork, fatigue, emotional distress, other health conditions, and sudden pressure changes. Certain foods such as dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, and high-sodium foods may also trigger symptoms. A low-salt diet (2 grams/day) may help control vertigo in individuals with Meniere's disease.

Mental stress can indeed trigger vertigo, sometimes worsening existing symptoms. However, it is not directly responsible for producing vertigo itself.
