Cinnarizine 20mg and Domperidone 15mg Tablet Uses
This combination tablet is commonly used to treat and prevent nausea and vomiting, especially when associated with vertigo (a sensation of spinning) or motion sickness. It is also helpful in managing symptoms of Meniere's disease, such as dizziness, ringing in the ears, and hearing loss. The medicine works by controlling the part of the brain that triggers nausea and vomiting, and by improving blood flow to the inner ear.
How Cinnarizine 20mg and Domperidone 15mg Tablet works
Cinnarizine is an antihistamine and calcium channel blocker. It reduces the overstimulation of the inner ear (vestibular system) and improves blood circulation, which helps relieve vertigo and dizziness. Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist that acts on the brain's chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and also speeds up stomach emptying, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting. Together, they provide effective relief from dizziness and associated stomach upset.
