Stugeron Forte Tablet 20

Below are some common uses of the Stugeron Forte tablet:

• Vertigo: Stugeron Forte is commonly prescribed to alleviate symptoms of vertigo, including dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Vertigo is a condition in which an individual experiences a spinning sensation due to problems in the inner ear. Cinnarizine, the active ingredient in Stugeron Forte, reduces the inner ear's sensitivity and the intensity of vertigo symptoms.
• Motion sickness: Motion sickness can occur when travelling by car, train, boat, or aeroplane. The symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. Stugeron Forte is prescribed to prevent motion sickness by reducing the activity of the vestibular system and the part of the brain that processes motion.
• Tinnitus: Tinnitus is a condition in which an individual hears a constant ringing or buzzing sound in the ears. Stugeron Forte manages tinnitus by improving blood flow in the ear and reducing the inner ear's sensitivity.
• Meniere's disease: Meniere's disease is when an individual experiences vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss. Stugeron Forte is prescribed to alleviate Meniere's disease symptoms by reducing the inner ear's sensitivity and improving blood flow in the ear.

• The recommended dose and duration of this medicine should be followed as per your doctor's advice. 
• It should be swallowed whole, not crushed, chewed, or broken. 
• Stugeron Forte tablet is best taken with food.

• The recommended route of administration for the Stugeron Forte tablet is oral. It is essential to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional or the package insert. 
• If you have any uncertainties about the appropriate dosage or how to take the medication, it is recommended to seek guidance from your physician or pharmacist.

• Stugeron Forte tablet contains cinnarizine as the active ingredient. It works by blocking the entry of calcium ions into the cells, including those in the blood vessels and inner ear.
• Cinnarizine causes the smooth muscles to relax in the blood vessels, thereby increasing the diameter of blood vessels and improving blood flow to various organs. This improves symptoms related to poor blood circulation, such as dizziness, vertigo, and tinnitus.
• In the inner ear, cinnarizine acts on the histamine H1 receptors, reducing the sensitivity of the vestibular apparatus to motion and changes in position. The vestibular apparatus detect changes in head position and motion and relays this information to the brain to maintain balance and orientation. When this apparatus malfunctions, it can result in symptoms such as vertigo, dizziness, and nausea. By reducing the sensitivity of the vestibular apparatus, cinnarizine helps to alleviate these symptoms.
• At the molecular level, cinnarizine binds to the calcium channels on the cell membrane, preventing the entry of calcium ions into the cells. Calcium ions are essential for the contraction of smooth muscles and for transmitting nerve signals. 
• By blocking the entry of calcium ions, cinnarizine reduces the activity of smooth muscles, including those in the blood vessels and inner ear, and inhibits the transmission of nerve signals. This results in the relaxation of smooth muscles, increased blood flow, and reduced sensitivity of the vestibular apparatus.
