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.

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.

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.
