Vertin 8 mg Tablet is used in the treatment of Meniere's disease and its symptoms, including dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), feeling sick (nausea), and difficulty in hearing. It contains Betahistine, which works by enhancing the blood flow to the affected part of the ear and also by reducing the amount of fluid in the inner ear. This drug also reduces the number of attacks a person can have. It may cause side effects such as nausea, indigestion (acid reflux), bloating or mild stomach ache, and headache. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
I have been experiencing a sinking sensation from around 10 am onwards for the past few months. I was taking Vertin 8 mg at 8 am, but over the last two days, I have reduced the dose to 4 mg, and the sinking sensation has almost disappeared. Are there any other treatment options I should consider?

A sinking sensation may be related to inner ear balance issues, and it is good that your symptoms have improved with a lower dose of Vertin (betahistine). However, any change in dosage should be discussed with your doctor before continuing. Other treatment options may include antihistamines such as dimenhydrinate or meclizine, vestibular rehabilitation exercises, and simple measures such as staying well hydrated, managing stress, and limiting caffeine intake. Your doctor may also check for triggers (such as dehydration or anxiety), evaluate for underlying conditions (such as vertigo or low blood pressure), and guide you towards the most suitable treatment plan.

You should rest in a safe position, drink plenty of fluids, and eat light meals. Antihistamine medications, such as meclizine or dimenhydrinate, may help relieve vertigo and nausea, but they should be taken only after consulting your doctor to ensure safety and correct dosing.

Dr. S Aneela

Vertin 8 mg Tablet (Betahistine) is usually taken three times daily, preferably after meals to avoid stomach upset.

You can manage your symptoms by following a few simple steps. Limit screen time, take regular breaks, and rest your eyes by looking away from the screen or doing eye exercises.
