Vertigo Problem, Tasteless, Vomiting Sensation, Loss Of Appetite, Varying Bilirubin. Vertin, Liver Medicines Recommended. Advise?
I am a acute vertigo patient since 2002, after taking Vertin 8mg regularly from 2007 and vertin 16 mg from November 2012 I feel normal in case of vertigo but since last three months I feel tasteless and to some extent vomiting feeling and loss of appetite. My birulibin is varying from 1.2 to 1.7. If I stop vertin then after two days again I feel vertigo problem & dizziness. MD medicine Specialist has recommended for continuing vertin 16mg twice a day with other liver medicine etc. Now my question is that how long I can take vertin 16mg or 8mg as my age is now 53.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Vertin (betahistine) is a safe medication, commonly used for treating dizziness and vertigo. It can be safely used for long term at your age. It can be taken as long as you require it (you have symptoms of dizziness). Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
