How it works
Vlamidir 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). Vlamidir 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 affecting the balance and hearing systems in the inner ear.

What are the triggers for Meniere's disease?
Meniere's disease can be triggered by factors like stress, overwork, fatigue, emotional distress, additional illnesses, and changes in air pressure. Certain foods such as dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, and high-sodium food may also trigger symptoms. A low-salt diet (2 grams/day) could help control vertigo associated with Meniere's disease.

Is stress a reason for vertigo?
Mental stress can contribute to vertigo symptoms by aggravating existing conditions or causing them to worsen. While stress itself is not a direct cause, it can exacerbate vertigo in individuals with other underlying causes.
What are the causes of vertigo?
Vertigo can be caused by sudden drops in blood pressure or dehydration. Rapid changes in posture from sitting to standing may also contribute.
