Detailed Information

How it works

Agiserc’s active ingredient, betahistine, may work by improving blood flow in the inner ear and reducing pressure in the endolymphatic system, which can help lessen vertigo episodes.

According to Drugs.com, betahistine acts on histamine receptors to increase circulation in the inner ear, potentially reducing symptoms like dizziness and ringing in the ears.

Clinical applications

Agiserc is primarily used for managing vertigo symptoms in people diagnosed with Ménière’s disease. It may also help with other balance disorders, though its approved use is narrower.

Vertigo episodes related to Ménière’s disease are often chronic, and Agiserc may offer symptom reduction for some patients when used consistently.

Safety and Effectiveness

Safety profile

According to the official Israeli drug registration document, common side effects of betahistine may include headache, upset stomach, and allergic skin reactions. Most are mild and manageable, but patients with certain conditions should use caution.
