Description
Cinnarizine 15 mg Tablets contain a proven antihistamine that blocks histamine receptors and certain calcium channels in the inner ear, reducing transmission of balance signals to the brain. Cinnarizine 15mg Tablets are an effective remedy for motion sickness and balance-related conditions such as vertigo and Ménière’s disease. This medication works by reducing sensitivity in the inner ear, alleviating nausea, dizziness, and balance disturbances associated with travel or inner ear problems. Cinnarizine is a trusted, non-drowsy formula for managing these symptoms and restoring normal functioning.
Treats and prevents:
-
Travel sickness (nausea, vomiting, dizziness)
-
Vestibular conditions: vertigo, tinnitus, and Ménière’s disease symptoms such as spinning sensations and nausea
-
General inner-ear dizziness and balance disorders
The long 84‑tablet pack ensures you won’t run out during travel or when managing chronic symptoms.
