Betahistine Tablets for Ménière’s Disease

This prescription tablet is used to help manage Ménière’s disease symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, and ear fullness. You can review options and request it with a valid prescription, with US delivery from Canada, even without insurance. This page explains uses, safety, dosing, and how to access it through YouDrugstore.

What Betahistine Is and How It Works

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba. Pharmacists review prescriptions before dispensing.

This medicine is a histamine analogue that targets the inner ear. It is thought to improve microcirculation in the stria vascularis, which may reduce endolymphatic pressure. By helping balance fluid within the labyrinth, it can lessen dizzy spells and ear fullness. In Canada, Serc® is a reference brand for this class. Effects are typically aimed at symptom control rather than cure. For a deeper overview, see our Betahistine Tablets guide.

Who It’s For

This treatment is used for adults diagnosed with Ménière’s disease or recurrent peripheral vertigo as assessed by a clinician. Some prescribers may consider Betahistine for Meniere’s when patients report spinning attacks with tinnitus and fluctuating hearing. People with a history of stomach ulcer disease should use caution. Those with severe asthma or pheochromocytoma should avoid this therapy unless specifically directed by a prescriber. Discuss pregnancy and breastfeeding with your healthcare professional.

Dosage and Usage

Follow the directions on your prescription label. Tablets are typically taken in divided doses with meals or shortly after food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole with water. Do not crush unless your prescriber instructs otherwise. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional. Do not change dose or schedule on your own; follow the official label and your prescriber’s advice.

Strengths and Forms

Oral tablets are the usual presentation. Commonly published strengths include:

• Tablets: 8 mg, 16 mg, 24 mg

Availability can vary by manufacturer and market. If your prescriber specifies a strength and brand, the pharmacy will aim to match it or contact them about a suitable alternative. Some patients are started on lower daily amounts and titrated to effect per label guidance. The listing may include Betahistine 16 mg among other strengths.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next one. Skip the forgotten dose if it is nearly time for your next scheduled dose. Do not double up. Try to take doses with meals at evenly spaced times during the day. Consistent timing can help tolerance and routine.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store tablets at room temperature, away from excess heat and moisture. Keep them in the original container with the label intact. Protect from humidity in bathrooms. Keep out of reach of children and pets. When you travel, pack enough tablets for the trip and a few extra days. Carry a copy of your prescription and keep medicine in your carry-on. Use a pill organizer only if it keeps tablets dry and secure.

Benefits

This therapy is used to help reduce vertigo spells, lessen ear fullness, and support functional balance over time. Many patients appreciate that it is non-sedating in typical use, so daytime activities may be easier to maintain. Taking it with food can improve stomach comfort. Regular use as prescribed may help stabilize symptoms for some people.

Side Effects and Safety

• Upset stomach or nausea
• Headache
• Indigestion or bloating
• Mild skin rash or itching

Serious reactions are uncommon but can include significant allergic responses or severe gastric discomfort in those prone to ulcers. Seek urgent care for swelling, trouble breathing, or widespread rash. People with stomach ulcer history, severe asthma, or tumor of the adrenal gland require special caution. This medicine may not be suitable for everyone.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Some antihistamines may reduce the effect of this treatment because of receptor competition. Discuss any MAO inhibitors, allergy medicines, or motion sickness products you use. Alcohol does not directly interact but may worsen dizziness. Tell your clinician about all prescription and non-prescription products, including vitamins and herbal supplements. If you have chronic GI conditions, talk with your prescriber about protective strategies.

What to Expect Over Time

Symptom control may develop gradually. Many patients track vertigo frequency and severity in a diary to share with their clinician. Steady, scheduled dosing often supports the best assessment of effectiveness. If your plan changes, your prescriber will guide those adjustments. Keep follow-up appointments so your progress can be reviewed.

Compare With Alternatives

Branded options are available in some markets. In Canada, Serc® contains the same active ingredient and is used under similar guidance; discuss brand needs with your prescriber. For migraine-associated vertigo, your clinician may consider migraine-directed therapies such as Zolmitriptan when appropriate. Your diagnosis determines which approach makes sense. Some patients read about Serc tablets when comparing options; your prescriber can advise on equivalence and labeling.

Availability and Substitutions

Supply can vary by manufacturer. If a specific pack is not available, your prescriber may suggest a comparable formulation or brand. We can coordinate with your clinician when a substitution is appropriate. This listing may show Betahistine for sale in several pack sizes. We also organize refills based on your prescription directions to help maintain continuity.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Good candidates are adults diagnosed with Ménière’s disease who can take histamine analogues without contraindications. Those with active ulcers, severe asthma, or pheochromocytoma generally should avoid it unless a specialist advises otherwise. For savings, consider multi-month fills if approved by your prescriber. Ordering a 90-day supply can reduce per-fill fees and fewer shipments. Set refill reminders so you do not miss doses. If you travel often, keep a printed or digital copy of your prescription with your medicine.
