Betnesol 0.5mg Tablets 100s

Betnesol 0.5mg Tablets 100s, made by Glaxo Smithkline Ltd, is a histamine-like medicine for vertigo. Its active ingredient is Betahistine 0.5mg, and it is used for meniere's disease, vertigo and tinnitus. Pack size: 100 tablets.

Uses of Betnesol 0.5mg Tablets 100s

Betnesol 0.5mg Tablets 100s is used to reduce the symptoms of Meniere’s disease, an inner-ear condition that causes repeated spells of vertigo, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), a feeling of fullness and hearing loss. It aims to make vertigo attacks less frequent and less severe. Doctors also prescribe it for some other types of vertigo linked to the inner ear. It is taken long term rather than for quick relief.

How Betnesol 0.5mg Tablets 100s works

Betahistine acts like a weak form of histamine in the inner ear. It is thought to improve blood flow there and reduce the build-up of fluid pressure that triggers vertigo, and it may also calm signals from the balance centres in the brain.

Possible side effects

Betnesol 0.5mg Tablets 100s is usually well tolerated. When side effects do occur, they tend to be mild and may include:

• Indigestion or mild stomach upset
• Nausea
• Headache
• Bloating
• Itchy skin rash

Seek urgent medical help for swelling of the face, lips or throat, or difficulty breathing. Vertigo that comes with weakness, numbness, slurred speech or double vision needs emergency assessment, as it may not be coming from the inner ear.

Precautions and warnings

• Taking Betnesol 0.5mg Tablets 100s with food can reduce stomach upset.
• Tell your doctor if you have asthma, a history of stomach ulcers, or a rare adrenal tumour called phaeochromocytoma.
• Antihistamines, including some cough and allergy remedies, may reduce its effect, so check with your pharmacist before taking them.
• It can take some weeks before you notice a benefit, so keep taking it as prescribed.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use it only if your doctor advises.
