Enier 16mg Tablet

Enier 16mg Tablet contains Betahistine as its active ingredient. It is an oral medication used primarily for the management of vertigo associated with Ménière’s disease and other vestibular disorders. Betahistine is a histamine analog that acts as a histamine H1 receptor agonist and a weak H3 receptor antagonist.

Ingredients:

• Betahistine (16mg): Betahistine exerts its therapeutic effects by enhancing histaminergic neurotransmission in the inner ear, which helps improve blood flow and reduce excess pressure in the vestibular system. This action is believed to alleviate symptoms of vertigo, dizziness, and tinnitus associated with vestibular disorders.

Uses:

Enier 16mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of vertigo and associated symptoms caused by Ménière’s disease and other vestibular disorders. It helps relieve episodes of vertigo, dizziness, imbalance, and tinnitus, improving the overall quality of life for patients affected by these conditions.

Side Effects:

1. Gastrointestinal Upset: Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort.
2. Headache: Headache is a common side effect reported by some patients taking Betahistine.
3. Allergic Reactions: Rarely, Betahistine may cause allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
4. Increased Heart Rate: Betahistine may cause mild increases in heart rate in some patients, although significant cardiovascular effects are uncommon.

Precautions:

1. Peptic Ulcer: Use with caution in patients with peptic ulcer disease, as Betahistine may increase gastric acid secretion.
2. Asthma: Use with caution in patients with bronchial asthma, as Betahistine may trigger bronchoconstriction in some individuals.
