Betahist

I've read that betahistine is used to treat tinnitus. Is there information anywhere that supports that? ## I've also heard of patients being prescribed Betahistine for tinnitus, but for verification you can find some supporting evidence here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21860977 This is a .gov site, so it's contents are considered to be as legitimate as it gets for use as an online reference page. Hope this helps!

## I would like to know any side effects of Betahistamine. I have been on the drug for 11 years and have found it invaluable. ## I was advised by my doctor to take Serc, a betahistamine drug before going thru audiometry. I'm just curious what the drug is for and why i need to take it before audiometry. also, is there any side effect? I went for a diagnostic consultation to figure out why am i getting dizzy and it's been my problem for as long as i can remember. ## If you are suffering from Meniere's Disease which is a disorder of the inner ear, this can help relieve the symptoms. Here's some info: Serc Info Click Here Since this med is not approved for regular use in the US, it is very hard to find much information on it. ## I would really like to know what betahistamine...

How does this differ from beta hosting? ## I'm not sure what you are referring to as beta hosting. Did you mean website hosting? Betahistine is an antivertigo drug.

can I take 2 Novo-Betahistine at the time? ## What dosage are you taking? Betahistine, which is usually used to treat vertigo, has a maximum recommended daily dose of 48mgs, given in divided doses, either 2 or 3 times a day. Taking a higher dosage can also increase the likelihood of side effects, such as headache, nausea and weight loss, thus it's really not advisable to increase the dosage, without your doctor's approval. Have you consulted them, yet?

I was prescribed betahistine hydrochloride to treat recurring vertigo. Another doctor prescribed betahistine mesilate for the same reason. I would like to know the difference between the two. Thank you! ## They are the same medication, the Hydrochloride and Mesylate just refer to the specific chemical salt that they are derived from, which can just vary according to the manufacturing process. Side effects may include: mild nausea, loss of appetite and headache.

My husband is spending most of his days in bed suffering from Vertigo. Someone with the same symptoms has been prescribed Novo Betahistine. He recommends my husband to take it because he says it has helped his greatly. My husband is taking METOCLOPRAMIDE it is helping somewhat but not near enough. How do they compare? ## Betahistine is used for Vertigo, most commonly that associated with Menieres Disease. Metoclopramide is an anti-emetic, so it really only treats nausea and vomiting. It will not help with associated dizziness. Has he spoken to his doctor about exploring other treatment options? ## Please try the Novo-betahistine. It was prescribed for me because I suffer from Menieres Syndrome where dizziness and vertigo last for days and days. It is safe and really helps. ## I have bee...

I was taking this medicine when i was admitted in the hospital because of vertigo. The doctor let me take this since my first day in the ward. During my first night in the ward, i started to palpitate every time i tried to sleep. First night was not bad, i managed to sleep but keep waking up from time to time. I told about my doctor about the palpitation but they said they cannot do about this since my ecg is normal. I had three sleepless nights as the palpitation is getting worse everytime i close my eyes. I just realized that it is because of this medicine when i stopped taking betahistine mesylate, palpitation stopped little by little. Im just sharing this for those people who will experience the same thing taking this medicine. ## Pilpitation is accuring every time i take betahistine

I just noticed that my pharmacist has switched me from teva-betahistine to novo-betahistine. I only noticed this because I'm having one of the worst menier's attracts I've ever had. I am wondering, what is the difference between these drugs and why would he have done this? Any feed back would be appreciated. Thank you ## They are the same medication, they've just been manufactured by different companies. These are Canadian medications and in Canada, they usually list the manufacture first, then it's followed by a hyphenation and the name of the actual drug. So, the first part of these, Novo and Teva, are both pharmaceutical manufacturers, but the drug is still Betahistine. Learn more Betahistine details here. Betahistine is a generic medication, which means it is man...

I'm on NovoBetahistine for my "Vertigo".I had to stop taking this medication while my doctor had the section 8 paper approved,it has been almost 3 months since I had this medicine.Now I am getting severe headaches,and I was wondering if me stopping this med without weaning myself off it would cause these as a side effect ## Based on my research, headaches can be are a rare but serious side effect of Betahistine. The prescribing information states that you should contact your doctor if you experience these side effects and they are either severe or bothersome. It sounds to me like there could be some sort of withdrawal-like symptoms going on, but at the same time I'm not finding any specific details verifying whether or not Betahistine actually causes withdrawal symptoms....

FOR WHICH DISEASE IS THIS DRUG USED? ## From what I understand Vertin's active ingredient is Betahistine, which is used for Vertigo.

Hi have anyone took this med SERC24 clinical trail for sarcoma lung cancer. ## @Rachel, From what I could gather, Serc (betahistine dihydrochloride) is reported to be an anti-vertigo drug indicated for treating vertigo in those with Meniere's disease. However, I haven't come across any specific details linking it back to cancer treatment. Could you possibly be referring to a different medication altogether?

I am having problems with my balance. When I had this problem 3 - 4 years ago my doctor prescribe a med called Novo-betahistine 16 mg. I have been very tired for a few weeks and I have problems walking straight. I have a few of these meds left can I take one and see if it will help me? ## Hello, Lynn! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the vertigo problem that you're having. If it is several years old, then the medication is most likely no longer effective. Additionally, vertigo can be caused by an infection of the inner ear, so you need to have it checked out and get a prescription for the appropriate medication. You may need an antibiotic. Is there anything else I can help with?
