Medicine Information

About Vicoten 8 mg Tablet:

Vicoten 8 mg tablet is prescribed to treat Meniere’s syndrome, a disorder of the inner ear.

Each uncoated Vicoten 8 mg tablet contains Betahistine Hydrochloride 8 mg and Excipients q.s.

Betahistine is a histamine analogue and acts as both partial histamine H1-receptor agonist and histamine H3-receptor antagonist in neuronal tissue.
H1-receptor antagonism improves the microcirculation in the labyrinth, thus reduces endolymphatic pressure. This action prevents the rupture of the labyrinth, which can contribute to the hearing loss associated with Meniere’s disease.
H3-receptor antagonism elevates neurotransmitters levels and inhibits the activity of vestibular nuclei. Thus restores proper balance and decreases vertigo symptoms.
