Cinnarizine, Dimenhydrinate

Cinnarizine and Dimenhydrinate are medications used to treat symptoms associated with motion sickness, dizziness, and vertigo. Cinnarizine is an antihistamine and anticholinergic agent that helps reduce nausea, vomiting, and dizziness by blocking certain natural substances in the body. Dimenhydrinate, on the other hand, is a combination of two drugs: diphenhydramine and 8-chlorotheophylline. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that helps reduce the effects of natural histamine in the body, while 8-chlorotheophylline acts as a stimulant.
Together, Cinnarizine and Dimenhydrinate work to alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms of motion sickness by suppressing the vestibular apparatus in the inner ear, which is responsible for sensing motion and balance. This medication can be taken before or during travel, such as by car, bus, train, boat, or airplane, to help prevent symptoms from occurring. It can also be used to treat dizziness and vertigo caused by various factors, such as inner ear disorders or vestibular neuritis.
Before using Cinnarizine and Dimenhydrinate, consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Additionally, this medication may cause side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness, so exercise caution when performing activities that require alertness, such as driving or operating machinery.
