Reviewed By Dr Aneela Siddabathuni , MPharma., PhD

Vertistar Plus 8mg Tablet is used in the treatment of Meniere's disease (a disorder of the inner ear) and its symptoms, including dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), feeling sick (nausea), and difficulty in hearing. It contains Betahistine and Domperidone. Betahistine works by enhancing the blood flow to the affected part of the ear and reducing the amount of fluid in the inner ear. Domperidone prevents nausea and vomiting symptoms by blocking specific receptors (like dopamine and serotonin) that stimulate the vomiting centre in the brain. It also increases the upper gastrointestinal tract's motility and helps decrease stomach emptying time. It may cause side effects such as indigestion (acid reflux), bloating or mild stomach ache, headache, and dry mouth. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid caffeine-containing beverages (coffee, tea), spicy, deep-fried, and processed foods, carbonated drinks, and acidic foods like citrus fruits and vegetables (tomatoes).
  • Make a habit of waiting consistently for the whole day. One should not stay without eating for 4 hours. Limit alcohol consumption, as this may reduce the chances of migraines.

  • A person should quit tobacco or smoking as it narrows the blood vessels and affects circulation, which may result in Meniere's disease.
  • Eat a healthy low-fat diet, especially in small portions, as it will be easy to digest. Avoid over-sweet food and include more salty food, especially if you have been vomiting.
  • Also, if you like vomiting at a specific time, avoid eating your favourite food at that particular time, as your taste for that food may get turned off.
  • Include more cool beverages in your food, such as clear soups, flavoured gelatin, and carbonated beverages. When you drink with a straw, sip slowly to avoid swallowing air that may lead to gas or acidity.
