Verserc
Compound:
Each tablet contains:
Betahistine dihydrochloride 16 mg.
Properties:
Betahistine acts primarily on histamine H1 and H3 receptors in the inner ear and vestibular nuclei of the central nervous system. Due to the direct agonistic effect on the H1 receptors of the vessels of the inner ear, as well as indirectly due to the effect on the H3 receptors, it improves microcirculation and capillary permeability, normalizes endolymph pressure in the labyrinth and cochlea. However, betahistine increases blood flow in the basilar artery.
It has a pronounced central effect, being an inhibitor of H3 receptors in the nuclei of the vestibular nerve. Improves conductivity in neurons of the vestibular nuclei at the level of the brain stem.
The clinical manifestation of these properties is a decrease in the frequency and intensity of dizziness, a decrease in tinnitus, and an improvement in hearing if it is reduced.
