Vertin 16 Tablet contains betahistine 16 mg, a medicine for Ménière’s disease and similar inner-ear dizziness. Extra fluid in the inner ear can send mixed signals to the brain, so you feel spinning, hear ringing, or notice hearing loss. Betahistine improves blood flow in that area and calms those signals, which lowers the pressure from the fluid. Swallow the tablet whole. It is often needed for weeks or months, so do not stop just because one good day arrives. Take it at the same times each day.

How Does It Work?
Betahistine acts like a histamine messenger on receptors in the inner ear. It widens the tiny blood vessels there so fluid pressure falls, and it dampens the jumpy nerve signals that tell the brain you are spinning. Less pressure and quieter signals mean fewer dizzy spells, less nausea, and easier balance over time.
