Pharmacological Effects: Betahistine acts as a histamine H3 receptor agonist and H1 receptor antagonist, leading to increased cochlear and cerebral blood flow. This mechanism helps in reducing the frequency and intensity of vertigo attacks.
Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of betahistine in improving symptoms of vertigo and Meniere’s disease. A study by Strupp et al. (2016) showed a significant reduction in vertigo attacks and improved quality of life in patients treated with betahistine.
