Pharmacology: Betahistine mesylate widens the precapillary sphincter, increasing blood circulation in the inner ear. Betahistine mesylate regulates capillary permeability in the inner ear, thereby eliminating endolymphatic hydrops. Betahistine mesylate also improves cerebral circulation and increases internal carotid artery blood flow.
Helps to relieve vertigo, dizziness, which is associated with balance disorders that occur in blood circulation disorders or Meniere's syndrome, Meniere's disease, and peripheral vertigo.
