What does it do?

Betahistine hydrochloride is an antihistamine component that acts on the central nervous system, primarily used in the treatment of dizziness and Meniere's disease. It improves blood flow in the inner ear and regulates the sense of balance through histamine-like action. This ingredient helps to alleviate symptoms by modulating nervous system functions.

Betahistine hydrochloride dilates the blood vessels in the inner ear, increasing blood flow and acting on histamine receptors to regulate the sense of balance. This helps reduce symptoms associated with dizziness and alleviates discomfort caused by Meniere's disease.
