Description
Nausea and dizziness may be caused by various traumatic or pathological processes in the body. So, to treat these symptoms different medicines are used which have different therapeutic actions. One of the best drugs to arrest dizziness and vomiting is Antivert.
Antivert is an antihistamine product used for the reduction of dizziness and vomiting. It contains an active ingredient Meclizine.
This is a drug with intense sedative action which blocks H1-histamine receptors, narrows blood vessels and lowers spasmogenic effect of histamine. The medicine has a weak cholinolytic activity. According to the data of the medical studies, a therapeutic effect is achieved due to the specific action of Antivert to peripheral labyrinth structures (a formation of inner ear containing receptors of hearing and vestibular apparatus).
An antiemetic effect of Antivert is more intense during disorders of motion (sea sickness, air sickness, and others). After the peroral use of Antivert, a therapeutic effect is developed within an hour and lasts for 24 hours. A pharmacological action of Antivert is reversible because this medicine does not influence on the causes of the dizziness and nausea, but it blocks biological processes increasing these symptoms.
