Suggest Medication For Vertigo

Hi, I have Vertigo moderate to serious: am taking otc Meclizine HCI 25mg twice a day in the am/pm. It does not seam to be helping very much. Can you suggest another/stronger drug? My doctor prescribed this drug about a year ago as I stated with little effect.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are suffering from vertigo, well there can be many reasons for vertigo like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , Vertigo may also be caused by inflammation within the inner ear sometimes due to infection , meniere's disease , acoustic neuroma and multiple sclerosis. Need not to worry. For now avoid bending foreword and do light exercises daily. I would suggest you to consult with ENT specialist for proper checkup so that there will not be any further complication . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI , blood test , audiometry test , rotatory chair test and ECG to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe ant emetic drug , sedatives , antibiotics and some ear aid.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
