How it works
Betahistine works by improving blood flow in the inner ear. It acts like histamine, a natural substance in the body, and helps reduce pressure buildup in the inner ear. By widening blood vessels and improving circulation in the inner ear, it helps relieve symptoms of vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. This action helps restore normal balance function.
