Vertigo and motion sickness treatments address the spinning sensation, nausea, and balance disruption that come from inner-ear dysfunction (Meniere’s disease, vestibular neuritis, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) or motion-induced sensory mismatch (car, sea, or air travel). MedsBase stocks two molecule families covering both: betahistine for chronic peripheral vertigo, and meclozine for acute motion-sickness prevention and short-course vestibular suppression.
Betahistine (Vertin 8 mg, Betavert 8 / 16 mg, Betavert Tab 24 mg) is a histamine-H1 partial agonist + H3 antagonist that improves cochlear blood flow. It is the European and Indian first-line for Meniere’s disease (vertigo episodes + tinnitus + fluctuating hearing loss) and chronic peripheral vestibular vertigo. Standard dose is 16 mg three times daily, titrating up to 48 mg/day if needed. Onset is gradual (2-4 weeks) so it is not a rescue drug; it is a maintenance therapy that reduces attack frequency.
Meclozine (Diligan 25 mg) is a first-generation H1 antihistamine with anticholinergic and central anti-emetic action. It is taken before motion exposure (1 hour before travel; effect lasts 8-12 hours) to prevent motion sickness on cars, boats, planes. It also has a short-term role in acute vertigo and labyrinthitis where vestibular suppression for the first 48-72 hours can shorten symptom severity (longer use delays central compensation, so do not extend past 3 days for an acute vertigo episode). Causes drowsiness; do not drive or operate machinery.
Hoe te kiezen. Recurrent spinning vertigo, tinnitus, or hearing fluctuation pointing at Meniere’s disease – betahistine. Brief acute episode of severe vertigo (vestibular neuritis, BPPV first attack) – meclozine for 48-72 hours, then stop and let central compensation finish the recovery. Travel-related nausea and dizziness – meclozine 1 hour before, repeat as needed up to manufacturer maximum. Chronic motion-sensitivity (frequent flier or sea-traveller) – meclozine prophylactically.
Driving and other safety notes. Both molecules cause drowsiness, especially meclozine. Avoid alcohol; combination amplifies sedation. Take the first dose at home before driving to learn your individual reaction. Patients with closed-angle glaucoma, prostatic hypertrophy, severe asthma, or pregnancy should consult before starting meclozine (anticholinergic effects). Betahistine is contraindicated in active peptic ulcer disease and phaeochromocytoma; pregnancy data are limited.
