How it works
Vistin 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). Vistin 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 Vistin 24mg Tablet to relieve vertigo (dizziness), hearing problems, and tinnitus (noise in the ear) associated with Ménière's disease.

What is Meniere's disease? Does it go away?
Meniere's disease is a disorder affecting the inner ear, which controls balance and hearing. It can cause symptoms like vertigo (feeling of spinning), fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and pressure in the ears. Dizziness often accompanies these symptoms and may lead to nausea and vomiting. There is no guaranteed cure for Meniere's disease, but it can be managed through treatment strategies tailored to individual needs. Consult your doctor to discuss suitable treatment options.
Is Vistin 24mg Tablet effective?

What are the triggers for Meniere's disease?
Triggers for Meniere's disease can include stress, overwork, fatigue, emotional distress, and other illnesses.
