Enier (8mg) 30 Tablets

Betahistine, the active ingredient in Betahistine 8mg Tablets, primarily acts as a histamine H1 receptor agonist and a histamine H3 receptor antagonist in the body. Its mechanism of action involves influencing the histaminergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system, particularly in the vestibular system. Betahistine is believed to enhance blood flow by causing vasodilation, particularly in the vascular structures of the inner ear. This increased blood flow improves microcirculation and oxygen supply to the vestibular apparatus, potentially alleviating symptoms associated with balance disorders and vertigo. Additionally, betahistine may modulate the activity of the vestibular system by interacting with histamine receptors, which helps regulate the transmission of signals related to balance and spatial orientation.
