Gemvert Tablet is taken orally.

Gemvert Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Cinnarizine (20 mg): This component acts as a calcium channel blocker and antihistamine. It works by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels in your inner ear which improves blood circulation. Cinnarizine also blocks the action of histamine, a chemical messenger involved in causing motion sickness and vertigo.

• Dimenhydrinate (40 mg): As an antihistamine, dimenhydrinate acts on your vestibular system which is responsible for maintaining balance and spatial orientation. By blocking histamine in the brain and inner ear, it helps reduce the symptoms of vertigo.

The combination of these two components provides a synergistic effect in managing vertigo by targeting different pathways involved in the condition.

• Store Gemvert Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it in a tightly closed container to protect it from light and moisture.

• Place the medicine in a location not easily accessible by children.

• Ensure you use the medicine before its expiry date.

• To manage vertigo symptoms, consider reducing your intake of caffeine and alcohol which can interfere with blood circulation in the inner ear.

• Engage in gentle exercises like yoga or tai chi, which can improve balance and reduce vertigo episodes. Consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
