Cinnarizine with Tardive Dyskinesia
My father diagnosed with Tardive Dyskinesia and he is taking tablets for it and also he previously diagnosed with Vertigo and had a neck band back 2-3 years ago. Still he feels nausea/dizziness and take Cinnarizine (Stugeron) advised by doctor saying when u feel dizzy take it. Can someone suggest me is it ok to take or we should consult any doctor ?
Hi there. I see that there are 2 issues, vertigo and tardive dyskinesia. Detailed history and previous prescription and reports will be required for proper diagnosis and treatment. Yes, he can take cinnarizine for now.
Next Steps
Please consult a neurologist online or otherwise.

Hi ! So basically your father has 3 issues .
1. Tardiv dyskinesia
2. Vertigo , most likely peripheral (in simple language not of brain origin)
3. Cervical spondylosis as he is using cervical collar
It's ok to use stugeron for vertigo intermittently as it won't cause or aggravate tardiv dyskinesia.
Also I want to know has he any other comorbidities e.g. diabetes , hypertension, dyslipidemia. Sometimes drugs can cause tardiv dyskinesia. So what other drugs he is taking now ?
Next Steps
kindly consult a Neurologist for further evaluation for vertigo and rule out any serious cause .Also find out any offending drug causing tardiv .
