Zacvert Tablet

Zacvert Tablet belongs to a group of anti-vertigo drugs used to treat the symptoms of vertigo, such as dizziness, spinning sensation, nausea, and vomiting. Zacvert Tablet can help you to carry out daily activities that are difficult when you have vertigo. Vertigo is a sudden external or internal spinning sensation that causes dizziness. It creates a false sense that you or your surroundings are moving or spinning.

Zacvert Tablet contains Cinnarizine (a calcium antagonist) and Dimenhydrinate (an antihistamine). Cinnarizine prevents the narrowing of the blood vessels in the ear, improving blood flow. Dimenhydrinate works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger known as histamine, thereby preventing problems with loss of balance. Together, Zacvert Tablet helps reduce the symptoms of vertigo.

Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Zacvert Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. Sometimes, you may experience certain common side effects, such as drowsiness, dry mouth, stomach pain, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
