Cinnarizine

Cinnarizine is an antiemetic and antivertigo medication that belongs to the class of phenothiazine derivatives. It is effective in treating symptoms of motion sickness and vestibular disorders, such as vertigo and dizziness. The medication also helps alleviate nausea, vomiting, and headaches associated with these conditions.
Cinnarizine works by blocking histamine H1 receptors in the central nervous system, which helps reduce motion sickness and vestibular symptoms. By inhibiting histamine release, it prevents the activation of the vomiting center in the brain, thus reducing nausea and vomiting. Additionally, cinnarizine has a sedating effect, which can help promote relaxation and calmness in patients experiencing severe dizziness or vertigo.
Cinnarizine can be taken orally as tablets or syrup, and the recommended dose varies depending on the patient’s age, weight, and the severity of symptoms. Follow the prescribed dosage and not exceed the maximum recommended daily intake to ensure patient safety and avoid potential side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, or blurred vision.
