Cinnarizine 25 mg 20 tablets

Description:

Cinnarizine 25 mg 20 tablets is an oral prescription medicine containing the antihistamine and antivertigo agent cinnarizine. It is primarily used to prevent and treat motion sickness, vertigo, and other balance disorders, as well as to support the management of certain peripheral and cerebrovascular circulation problems. By blocking H1 histamine receptors and calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, cinnarizine helps reduce dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and improves blood flow in specific vascular conditions. This product is intended for adult use under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Prevention and treatment of motion sickness (travel sickness), including nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with travel by car, sea, or air.
• Treatment of vertigo and other vestibular disturbances (inner ear balance disorders), such as dizziness, spinning sensation, and balance problems.
• Adjunctive treatment of vomiting and vertigo in Meniere's disease and similar inner ear conditions, as prescribed by a doctor.
• Treatment of certain vascular disorders (peripheral and cerebrovascular), such as symptoms related to impaired blood flow (e.g., cold extremities, intermittent claudication, tinnitus, and certain types of headache), as directed by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Cinnarizine – 25 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: Other inactive ingredients (tablet core and coating excipients) are present but not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Always use exactly as prescribed by your doctor or as directed on the product label. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
• Adults – Motion sickness: Typical regimen: 30 mg taken 2 hours before the start of the journey, then, if needed, 15–30 mg every 8 hours during travel. For this 25 mg tablet strength, your doctor will adjust the dose (e.g., 1 tablet ≈ 25 mg). Follow your physician’s instructions.
• Adults – Vertigo and vestibular disturbances, vomiting in Meniere's disease: Usual total daily dose is 90 mg per day in 3 divided doses. With 25 mg tablets, your doctor will determine the exact number of tablets and dosing schedule.
• Adults – Peripheral and cerebrovascular disorders: Typical dose is 75 mg 1–3 times daily. Your physician will adapt this to the 25 mg tablet strength.
• Tablets are usually taken by mouth with water, preferably after meals to reduce the risk of stomach upset.
• Do not crush or chew the tablets unless advised by 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.
• Duration of treatment depends on the condition being treated and your doctor’s recommendation. Do not use for prolonged periods without medical supervision.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps prevent and relieve motion sickness symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness during travel.
• Reduces vertigo and balance disturbances by suppressing vestibular (inner ear) overactivity.
• Provides antivertigo and anti-nausea effects in conditions like Meniere’s disease and other inner ear disorders.
• Contributes to the management of certain peripheral and cerebrovascular circulation problems by inhibiting calcium influx in vascular smooth muscle and improving blood flow.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to cinnarizine or any of the excipients.
