Revert 10pcs

Revert tablet: Each tablet contains 20 mg cinnarizine and 40 mg dimenhydrinate.

Descriptions

Revert consists of two compounds: cinnarizine and dimenhydrinate. Dimenhydrinate, the chlorotheophylline salt of diphenhydramine, acts as antihistamine with anticholinergic properties. The substance exhibits anti-emetic and antivertiginous effects through influencing the chemoreceptor trigger zone in the region of the 4th ventricle. Cinnarizine acts mainly as a vestibular sedative through inhibition of the calcium influx into the vestibular sensory cells. Cinnarizine thus acts predominantly on the peripheral vestibular system. The combination product is more effective than the individual compounds.

Indications
Revert is indicated for the treatment of vertigo symptoms of various origins.

Dosage & Administration
