Pharmacological information of cinnarizine
Medication Information: Cinnarizine is used to treat problems affecting the inner ear and balance, such as dizziness and illness. Cinnarizine is useful in preventing travel sickness.
The nerves inside your ear send messages about movement to your brain, along with messages from your eyes and muscles. These nerves help your body maintain balance. If the nerves in one of your corners send too much or the wrong message to the brain, these messages interfere with the messages sent from the other ear, your eyes, or your body, causing the brain to become confused and dizzy and sick. Travel sickness is caused by repetitive unusual movements during travel. These repetitive movements send a large number of messages from your ears and eyes to your brain, meaning that your brain receives confusing messages. This is what makes you feel sick.
Cinnarizine helps reduce the feeling of sickness and dizziness caused by such diseases. It is also available without a prescription, and adults and children over 5 years of age can use cinnarizine.
Cinnarizine under the Arlevert brand is a combination of cinnarizine with dimenhydrinate to treat dizziness.
