Is Switching Over From Ondansetron To Another Medicine Recommended?

I received steriod injection in lower back 4 days ago. 4 days later I ve developed vertigo type symptoms, taking Meclizine and Ondansetron 4mg. Neither is really helping with the head spins and zapping. Any suggestions on any other type meds or procedures to try to get rid of the dizzy feeling?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having side effect or steroid injection, vertigo.
And best treatment for vertigo is
1. Tablet Vertin 8mg 1 tablet thrice daily.
2. Tablet stemetil MD (mouth dissolving) 1 tablet thrice daily.
You will mostly improve with all these in 3 days.
Also drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid fatty food.
Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
