Betahistine 16 mg FC Tablets is used to prevent and treat a disorder of the inner ear known as Meniere's disease. The symptoms include dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and loss of hearing, probably caused by fluid in the ear. This medicine helps relieve the symptoms by reducing the amount of fluid.

- Dizziness
- Vestibular Disturbances
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it.
The mechanism of action of betahistine is multifactorial. Ménière's disease is thought to result from a disruption of endolymphatic fluid homeostasis in the ear. Betahistine mainly acts as a histamine H1-receptor agonist. The Betahistine 8 mg Tablet increases blood flow to the inner ear, which lowers the pressure of extra fluid there. In persons with Ménière’s illness, this pressure is assumed to be the culprit behind the symptoms of nausea, vertigo (dizziness), tinnitus (ear ringing), and hearing loss. This medication lessens the severity of the symptoms and lowers their frequency.
