Betavert pills 16mg №30

Mechanism of action

Betavert is a synthetic analogue of histamine. Affects mainly the histamine H1 and H3 receptors of the inner ear and the vestibular nuclei of the central nervous system. Through direct agonistic effects on histamine H1 receptors of inner ear vessels, as well as indirectly through effects on histamine H3 receptors, improves microcirculation and permeability of the inner ear capillaries, normalizes endolymph pressure in the maze and cochlea. In addition, betahistine increases blood flow in the basilar arteries. Betavert has a pronounced central effect, being an inhibitor of histamine H3-receptors of the nuclei of the vestibular nerve. Normalizes conduction in neurons of the vestibular nuclei at the level of the brain stem. Clinical manifestations of these properties are a decrease in the frequency and intensity of dizziness, a decrease in noise and ringing in the ears, and an improvement in hearing in the event of a decrease.
