Suggest Medications For Meniere Disease

My mom has been having the following issues for several months....dizziness, anxiety, eye pain, ear ache, ringing in the ears and very sensitive to noise. Doctor diagnosed her with Meniere Disease. Prescribed Meclizine and put her on prednisone. Was 100% better until prednisone was gone...now all symptoms have returned. Any suggestions? Thank you,

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Well there can be many reason for occurrence of meniere disease and there are many underlying conditions and diseases associated with this disease . So it is very essential to cure those underlying condition to completely get rid of this disease. Meniere disease occur due to :-

-Improper fluid drainage, perhaps because of a blockage or anatomic abnormality

-Allergies

- infection in middle ear .

-Genetic factors .

- Head injury .

- Migraines .

I would suggest you to consult you doctor again for proper evaluation anf to find out what exactly causing this disease . Treatment will depend upon the underlying cause .

There are many treatment options aprt from medicines you mention in query like diuretic (a drug that causes increased urine output) , Gentamicin is an antibiotic that is injected to reduce the balance in your ear, Injections of steroids , hearing aid , endolymphatic sac procedure and vestibular nerve section procedure .

Till then reduce stress and anxiety .

Avoid food and drinks containing caffeine .

Continue medicine prescribed by doctor ( Meclizine and prednisone )

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry
