Walhistine 16 Tablet 10 is used to treat Ménière’s disease and other vestibular disorders. It helps alleviate symptoms such as dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), hearing loss, and nausea by improving blood flow in the inner ear and reducing fluid buildup. This medicine can also be used for vestibular disorders and motion sickness.

How Walhistine 16 Tablet 10 Works?
Walhistine 16 Tablet 10 contains betahistine (16 mg). Here’s how it works:
- Vasodilation: Betahistine acts as a histamine H1 receptor agonist. This means it dilates the blood vessels and capillaries in your inner ear. This action enhances blood flow and reduces fluid pressure.
- Inhibition of Vestibular Nuclei Activity: Betahistine is also a histamine H3 receptor antagonist. By blocking these receptors, it increases histamine release in the vestibular nuclei. This dampens their electrical activity, suppressing signals that cause vertigo and unsteadiness.
