Composition: Cinnarizine 20 mg and Dimenhydrinate 40 mg | Pack: 10’s | Prescription: required | Treats: vertigo and dizziness
Understanding Vertigo and dizziness
Vertigo is the false sensation that you or the room is spinning. It usually comes from the balance organ of the inner ear, and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, unsteadiness, sweating and ringing in the ear. Common causes include benign positional vertigo triggered by head movements, vestibular neuritis after a viral infection, and Meniere’s disease, in which fluid pressure in the inner ear causes attacks of vertigo with hearing loss and tinnitus. Motion sickness produces similar symptoms through mismatched signals from the eyes and ears.
How SINARZINE PLUS Tablet 10’s works
Cinnarizine calms overactive signalling from the inner ear’s balance organ and improves small-vessel blood flow, while dimenhydrinate blocks histamine and acetylcholine pathways in the vomiting centre of the brain. Combining a vestibular sedative with an anti-nausea antihistamine controls both the spinning sensation and the vomiting that often accompanies it.
Key uses of SINARZINE PLUS Tablet 10’s
Your doctor may prescribe SINARZINE PLUS Tablet 10’s for one or more of the following:
- Vertigo with severe nausea and vomiting
- Meniere’s disease and vestibular neuritis
- Motion sickness and travel-related dizziness
- Dizziness of mixed central and inner-ear origin
How to take SINARZINE PLUS Tablet 10’s correctly
Take one tablet two or three times daily after food, as prescribed, for a short course. For travel, take a dose about half an hour before the journey. Drowsiness is marked with this combination, so plan not to drive or work with machinery, and avoid alcohol completely while taking it.
Possible side effects of SINARZINE PLUS Tablet 10’s
Most people tolerate this medicine well, and many effects settle as the body adjusts. Tell your doctor if any of the following persists or troubles you:
- Marked drowsiness and tiredness
- Dry mouth and blurred vision
- Constipation or stomach upset
- Headache and confusion, especially in older people
- With prolonged use: tremor, stiffness or slowed movement
Precautions and warnings
Avoid in Parkinson’s disease, narrow-angle glaucoma, prostate enlargement with urinary difficulty and severe liver disease. Older adults are at higher risk of confusion, falls and movement problems, so treatment should be brief. Do not combine with alcohol, sleeping tablets or other sedating medicines. Report tremor, stiffness or unusual movements promptly.
Diet and lifestyle tips for vertigo and dizziness
During an attack, sit or lie still in a quiet, dimly lit room and avoid sudden head movements until it passes. Get up from bed in stages: sit first, wait, then stand. Keep hydrated, limit caffeine, salt, alcohol and tobacco, which can worsen inner-ear symptoms, particularly in Meniere’s disease. Vestibular rehabilitation exercises taught by a physiotherapist retrain the balance system and reduce recurrence. Do not drive or climb ladders while you feel dizzy or drowsy from medication.
Missed dose and storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep it in the original strip or bottle so the label and expiry stay with the medicine. Do not keep it in the bathroom or the refrigerator unless the pack says so, and keep it out of reach of children. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is nearly time for the next one, in which case skip it. Never take two doses together to make up.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I feel so sleepy?
Both components are sedating, which is partly how they calm the balance system. It is expected, so arrange not to drive or work at heights during treatment.
When does dizziness need urgent assessment?
Dizziness with sudden hearing loss, severe headache, double vision, slurred speech, facial droop, weakness or difficulty walking may indicate a stroke and needs emergency care.
