SALT INFORMATION FOR Cephotam-BVG
Betahistine(16mg)
Uses
Betahistine is used for Meniere's disease. It helps to reduce the episodes of vertigo associated with Meniere's disease.
How it works
Betahistine is a histamine analog. It works by improving the blood flow in the inner ear which reduces the pressure of excess fluid there. Excess fluid can send signals to the brain causing nausea, dizziness or spinning sensations (symptoms of Ménière's disease). Betahistine additionally dampens down the nerve signals sent from the inner ear to the brain relieving the symptoms of Ménière's disease.

Headache, Nausea, Drowsiness, Palpitations, Confusion, Hypotension (low blood pressure), Itching, Abdominal pain, Convulsion, Hallucination, Hypersensitivity, Ventricular premature contractions

Uses
Ginkgo Biloba is used in the treatment of dementia, vertigo and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
How it works
The compounds found in ginkgo may have a protective role in different stages of the decline of intellectual function via several mechanisms of action: vasoregulating activity of arteries, capillaries, and veins (increased blood flow), platelet activating factor (PAF) antagonism, homeostasis of inflammation and oxidative stress, and prevention of cell membrane damage causedby free radicals, and neurotransmission modulation.

This works by oxidizing the free radicals (toxins) in the body.
