Betaserc 8 Mg 100 Tablets

Betaserc 8 Mg 100 Tablets

Description:

Betaserc 8 mg 100 tablets is a prescription oral medicine containing betahistine, a histamine analogue used primarily for the treatment of vertigo and Meniere's disease. It works by improving blood flow in the inner ear and brainstem, helping to reduce abnormal inner ear pressure that leads to dizziness, tinnitus, and hearing disturbances. Manufactured by Abbott Laboratories, Betaserc is widely used in the management of balance disorders and recurrent vertigo attacks under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment of Meniere's syndrome/Meniere's disease, characterized by episodes of vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness in the ear.
• Symptomatic treatment of peripheral vertigo of vestibular origin (balance disorders related to the inner ear).
• Helps reduce the frequency, duration, and severity of vertigo attacks.
• May help improve associated symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and balance instability related to inner ear disorders, as directed by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Betahistine dihydrochloride – 8 mg per tablet.
• Excipients (tablet core and coating) – exact composition and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; please refer to the official package leaflet for full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Betaserc 8 mg tablets are for oral use only and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Typical adult dosing regimens (for reference only – your doctor may adjust): often 8–16 mg taken two to three times daily. The exact dose, frequency, and duration must be determined by a healthcare professional.
• Tablets are usually taken with or after food to help reduce possible stomach discomfort.
• Swallow the tablet with a sufficient amount of water; do not crush or chew unless advised by your doctor.
• Use regularly as prescribed; improvement in symptoms may take several weeks. Do not stop treatment abruptly without consulting your doctor.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Not recommended for children and adolescents unless specifically prescribed by a specialist.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo attacks associated with Meniere's disease and vestibular disorders.
• Improves blood flow to the inner ear (labyrinth) and brainstem, which may help normalize inner ear pressure.
• Contributes to relief of associated symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and balance problems linked to vertigo.
• May help decrease tinnitus intensity and a feeling of fullness in the ear, supporting better hearing function over time in some patients.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to betahistine or any of the excipients in the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients with pheochromocytoma (a rare tumor of the adrenal gland) due to risk of severe hypertension.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of bronchial asthma; close medical monitoring is recommended.
• Use with caution in patients with active or previous peptic ulcer disease or other significant gastrointestinal disorders.

• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Betaserc should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are breastfeeding; it is not known with certainty whether betahistine passes into breast milk. Your doctor will weigh the benefits and risks.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including antihistamines, as they may reduce the effect of betahistine, and any medicines for blood pressure or psychiatric conditions.
• Use with caution if you have low blood pressure or are taking medications that lower blood pressure.
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose. This medicine should only be used under medical supervision for diagnosed vertigo or Meniere's disease.

• Headache may occur in some patients.
• Allergic skin reactions such as rash, itching, or urticaria (hives) are possible but uncommon. Stop the medicine and seek medical advice if these occur.
• In rare cases, more serious reactions such as severe allergic reaction (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing) may occur; seek emergency medical attention immediately.
