Serc Tablets 8mg

Serc Tablets 8mg is a tablet made by Abbott Laboratories (pakistan) Ltd that contains Betahistine 8mg, a histamine-like medicine for vertigo. It is used for meniere's disease, vertigo and tinnitus. Pack size: 30 tablets.

Uses of Serc Tablets 8mg

Serc Tablets 8mg 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 Serc Tablets 8mg 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

Serc Tablets 8mg 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 Serc Tablets 8mg 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.
