Medohist 16mg Tablet is used to prevent and treat a disorder of the inner ear known as Ménière’s disease, which includes symptoms such as dizziness, ringing in the ears, and loss of hearing. Medohist 16mg Tablet should be swallowed whole with water and taken at the same time(s) each day to get the most benefit. Your doctor will decide what is the correct dose to relieve your symptoms and how often you need to take it. You may need to take this medicine for several months and you should take it for as long as prescribed by your doctor, even if you start feeling better.
Medohist 16mg Tablet is a histamine analog. It works by improving the blood flow in the inner ear which reduces the pressure of excess fluid there. Excess fluid can send signals to the brain causing nausea, dizziness or spinning sensations (symptoms of Ménière's disease). Medohist 16mg Tablet additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.
What is Meniere's disease? Does it go away?
Meniere's disease is a disorder of the balance and hearing organs in the inner ear, characterized by symptoms such as vertigo, fluctuations in hearing, tinnitus, and pressure in the ears. While the exact cause of Meniere's disease is unknown, treatment options are available to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. A comprehensive discussion with a healthcare provider can help determine the best course of treatment.
Is Medohist 16mg Tablet effective?
Medohist 16mg Tablet has been found to be effective in managing symptoms when used as directed by a healthcare provider. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and duration to ensure optimal results. Stopping treatment too early may lead to symptom recurrence or worsening.
What are the triggers for Meniere's disease?
Meniere's disease can be triggered by various factors, including stress, overwork, fatigue, emotional distress, certain medical conditions, and changes in environmental pressure. Additionally, consuming foods high in sodium, caffeine, alcohol, and dairy products may exacerbate symptoms. A low-sodium diet (2 grams/day) has been found to help control vertigo in some cases.
