Is Switching From Betahistine To Meclizine Safe?
Is it safe to switch from beta histine to meclizine? I have BPPV and come from abroad and cannot get my beta serc. Dr said to get over the counter ANtivert but I do not like the idea. Different action, right? Antagonsit-agonist? I hear there is beta histine in compunding pharmacies but still need prescription? I ve been taking 16 mg beta serc a day and am running out. Won t go home until summmer.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is completely safe to switch from beta just one to meclizine. It is important to avoid taking the two medications together. But switching for one to another is ok.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
