Vertistar Plus 8mg Tablet is used in the treatment of Meniere's disease (a disorder of the inner ear) and its symptoms, including dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), feeling sick (nausea), and difficulty in hearing. It contains Betahistine and Domperidone. Betahistine works by enhancing the blood flow to the affected part of the ear and reducing the amount of fluid in the inner ear. Domperidone prevents nausea and vomiting symptoms by blocking specific receptors (like dopamine and serotonin) that stimulate the vomiting centre in the brain. It also increases the upper gastrointestinal tract's motility and helps decrease stomach emptying time. It may cause side effects such as indigestion (acid reflux), bloating or mild stomach ache, headache, and dry mouth. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
