About BETA CITAM TABLET

BETA CITAM TABLET is used to treat the symptoms of Meniere's illness, which include dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), nausea, and hearing loss. Meniere's disease is a medical condition that affects the inner ear and causes episodes of vertigo.

BETA CITAM TABLET contains Betahistine, Ginkgo biloba, Piracetam, Vinpocetine, and Vitamin D3. Betahistine lowers the pressure of the excess fluid and improves blood flow to the inner ear. Piracetam protects the nervous system and brain from shortness of oxygen. Vinpocetine and Ginkgo biloba protect the brain from free radical damage and increase blood flow to the brain. Vitamin D3 provides essential nutrients. Together, they help treat Meniere's illness.

Take the BETA CITAM TABLET with or after a meal. In some cases, BETA CITAM TABLET may cause side effects such as nausea, indigestion (acid reflux), bloating, minor stomach ache, and headache. Most of the side effects induced by this medication do not necessitate medical treatment and will resolve within a few days. However, get medical attention if the side effects persist or worsen.

Consult your doctor before using BETA CITAM TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines to rule out any side effects. BETA CITAM TABLET should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. BETA CITAM TABLET may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid consuming alcohol with BETA CITAM TABLET as it could lead to increased dizziness.
