How it works
Vertijab 24mg 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). Vertijab 24mg Tablet additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.

You have been prescribed Vertijab 24mg Tablet to relieve vertigo (dizziness), hearing problems and tinnitus (noise in the ear) associated with Ménière's disease.

These symptoms can be accompanied by dizziness, which may lead to nausea and vomiting. The treatment plan for Meniere's disease depends on individual factors. Consulting a doctor is crucial to determine the most appropriate course of action based on your specific case.
Is Vertijab 24mg Tablet effective?
Vertijab 24mg Tablet is effective when used as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not stop taking it even if you notice improvement, as discontinuation may cause the symptoms to return or worsen.
What are the triggers for Meniere's disease?
Stress, overwork, fatigue, emotional distress, other illnesses, and changes in air pressure can potentially trigger a flare-up of Meniere's disease. Additionally, certain foods like dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, and high-sodium foods may play a role in triggering symptoms.

Is stress a reason for vertigo?
Yes, mental stress can trigger vertigo, making existing vertigo symptoms worse. Stress alone does not typically cause vertigo.
