Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

Betahistine (vertin) is used to treat vertigo/dizziness and it reduces the symptoms.

Vertin causes dilatation of blood vessels in the inner, as well as release of neurotransmitters in the brain.

It has no direct effects on the blood.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
