Hello

As per my clinical experience, the medicines mentioned as Nuhenz and Vertin are symptomatic relievers and hence precise underlying mechanics of need of medicines have to be understood. It is the recent MRI findings which are of paramount importance which can give us a definite clue to the cause of imbalance issue.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
