Description
Betavert OD 48 Tablet is an antivertigo medicine used in the treatment of Meniere's disease, which is an inner ear disorder. This medicine helps relieve the symptoms of Meniere's disease, such as vertigo (a feeling of dizziness or spinning sensation), ringing in the ears, nausea, and hearing loss. It works by improving blood flow around the inner ear. This will reduce the build-up of pressure in the inner ear.

Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to it. Betavert OD 48 Tablet should be taken with food to avoid stomach problems.
