1. What is Betahistina Tarbis and what is it used for
Betahistina Tarbis contains betahistina. This medication is referred to as a "histamine analogue".
Betahistina is indicated for the treatment of vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss associated with Meniere's syndrome.
This medication works by improving blood flow in the inner ear. This reduces the accumulation of pressure.
2. What you need to know before taking Betahistina Tarbis
Do not take Betahistina Tarbis
- If you are allergic to the active ingredient or any of the other ingredients of this medication (listed in section 6).
- If you have high blood pressure due to a suprarenal tumor (pheochromocytoma).
If you are in any of the above situations, do not take this medication and consult your doctor.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take betahistina:
- If you have a stomach ulcer
- If you have asthma
- If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
- If you are breastfeeding
If any of the above applies to you, consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take betahistina.
Your doctor will tell you if it is safe for you to start taking this medication.
It is also possible that your doctor may want to monitor your asthma while you are taking betahistina.
Other medications and Betahistina Tarbis
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to use other medications, including those obtained without a prescription. This includes herbal medicines.
In particular, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medications:
- Antihistamines: these may (in theory) reduce the effect of betahistina. Additionally, betahistina may also reduce the effect of antihistamines.
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) - medications used to treat depression or Parkinson's disease. These may increase exposure to betahistina.
Using Betahistina Tarbis with food, drinks, and alcohol
You can take this medication with or without food.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.
Do not take betahistina tablets if you are pregnant unless your doctor decides it is absolutely necessary. Ask your doctor for advice.
Do not breastfeed while taking betahistina tablets unless your doctor tells you to. It is not known if betahistina passes into breast milk.
Driving and using machines
Betahistina is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use machines or tools.
