Betahistine Tablets

Description

Vertijey-16 Tablets by Ellanjey is a highly effective vestibular suppressant and anti-vertigo medication containing Betahistine Dihydrochloride I.P. 16 mg. Betahistine is the first-line and most widely prescribed treatment for Meniere’s disease, recurrent vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and hearing loss associated with inner ear disorders. The 16 mg strength is the optimal dosage for patients requiring moderate to strong symptom control, particularly those who have not responded adequately to lower 8 mg doses.

Key Benefits

• Reduces Vertigo Attack Frequency and Severity: Clinically proven to significantly decrease how often vertigo episodes occur and how intense they are, allowing patients to return to normal daily activities.

• Improves Inner Ear Blood Flow: Acts as a potent vasodilator, increasing microcirculation and oxygen delivery to the cochlea and vestibular apparatus — addressing the root cause of endolymphatic hydrops.

• Reduces Endolymphatic Pressure: Helps regulate fluid balance in the inner ear, reducing the pathological fluid buildup that triggers Meniere’s disease attacks.

• Alleviates Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears): Many patients experience significant reduction in the intensity and intrusiveness of tinnitus, improving quality of life and sleep.

FAQs:

1. How quickly does Vertijey-16 start working?

Betahistine is not an immediate relief medication for acute vertigo attacks. It is a preventive and long-term treatment. You may notice some improvement within a few days, but full benefits typically take 2-4 weeks of regular use. Continue taking it consistently even if you don’t feel immediate results.

2. Can I take Vertijey-16 during an active vertigo attack?

While betahistine is primarily for prevention, it can be taken during attacks. However, it will not stop an acute episode immediately. For acute vertigo attacks, your doctor may prescribe other medications (like prochlorperazine or ondansetron) for immediate symptom control. Keep taking Vertijey-16 regularly to prevent future attacks.

3. How long do I need to take this medicine?

For Meniere’s disease and chronic recurrent vertigo, treatment is often long-term or lifelong. Do not stop taking Vertijey-16 without consulting your doctor, as symptoms typically return within days to weeks. Many patients require continuous therapy for years to maintain symptom control.

4. Can I take Vertijey-16 during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Consult your doctor. Betahistine should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed, as there is limited safety data. It is not recommended during breastfeeding unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the infant. Your doctor can help weigh the risks and benefits.
