Vertiren 16 Tablet contains betahistine (16 mg). It functions through the following mechanisms:
• Histamine Receptors: Betahistine acts as a weak agonist of histamine H1 receptors and a robust antagonist of histamine H3 receptors. This action facilitates histamine turnover, which is essential in various physiological processes, including those in the inner ear.
• Inner Ear Pressure: Through its receptor activity, betahistine enhances blood flow within the inner ear, reducing pressure accumulation that results in symptoms such as vertigo and tinnitus in Ménière's disease.
• Absorption and Excretion: Betahistine is swiftly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, achieving peak plasma concentrations within approximately one hour. It is primarily excreted in the urine approximately 24 hours post-ingestion.
