Medicine questions

Started taking the medicine and have questions?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

1. What AuroBetina is and what it is used for

Betahistine is a type of medicine called a "histamine analogue".
AuroBetina is used to treat:
Ménière's disease - the symptoms of this disease include:

  • vertigo (of vestibular origin)
  • tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
  • hearing loss or hearing problems
    Symptomatic treatment of vertigo of peripheral vestibular origin (occurring when the part of the inner ear that controls balance does not function properly).

This medicine works by improving blood flow in the inner ear. This leads to a reduction in
increased pressure.

2. Before you take AuroBetina

Do not take AuroBetina

  • if you are allergic to betahistine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
  • if you have a pheochromocytoma, a rare tumour of the adrenal gland.

Warnings and precautions

Before taking AuroBetina, talk to your doctor or pharmacist:

  • if you have a peptic ulcer (stomach ulcer)
  • if you have bronchial asthma
  • if you have urticaria, skin rash or allergic rhinitis, as these conditions may worsen
  • if you have low blood pressure. If you have any of these conditions, you should consult your doctor to see if you can take AuroBetina tablets. These patient groups should be monitored by a doctor during treatment.

Children and adolescents

AuroBetina is not recommended for use in patients below 18 years of age.

AuroBetina with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines you are taking now or have taken recently, and about any medicines you plan to take.
In particular, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines:
Antihistamines - they may theoretically affect the action of betahistine. Also, betahistine may reduce the action of antihistamines.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) - medicines used to treat depression or Parkinson's disease. They may increase the action of betahistine.
If any of the above applies to you (or if you are unsure), talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking AuroBetina.

Taking AuroBetina with food and drink

AuroBetina can be taken with or without food. However, AuroBetina may cause mild stomach problems (listed in section 4). Taking betahistine with food may help reduce stomach problems.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Do not take AuroBetina tablets if you are pregnant unless your doctor has decided that it is absolutely necessary. Ask your doctor. Do not breast-feed if you are taking AuroBetina tablets unless your doctor has told you that you can. It is not known whether betahistine passes into breast milk.

Driving and using machines

AuroBetina is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use machines.
However, remember that the disease for which you are being treated with AuroBetina (Ménière's disease and vertigo of peripheral vestibular origin) may cause vertigo or nausea and may affect your ability to drive or use machines.
