Duration of treatment with Vertap may vary from patient to patient. Some people respond rapidly to treatment while others may take some time. Hence, it is advised to take your tablets regularly and wait for the results patiently. Consult the doctor if not sure.
Vertigo may be caused either by a sudden drop in blood pressure or because of being dehydrated. Many people feel lightheaded if they get up too quickly from sitting or lying down. Along with that, motion sickness, certain medicines and problems with your inner ear (Menieres disease, acoustic neuroma) may cause vertigo. It is important to know that sometimes vertigo can be a symptom of other disorders (multiple sclerosis, following head trauma) as well.
Vertap is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Vertap too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Mental stress can trigger vertigo. It can make many forms of vertigo worse, but will not, by itself, produce vertigo.
Vertap can cause mild stomach problems such as vomiting, stomach pain, stomach swelling (abdominal distension) and bloating. You can reduce the chances of getting these side effects by taking Vertap with food. However, the absorption of Vertap may get reduced when taken with food.
If you forget a dose of Vertap, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next dose on the scheduled time. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.
Menieres disease can be triggered by conditions like stress, overwork, fatigue, emotional distress, additional illnesses and pressure changes. Along with that, certain foods such as dairy products, caffeine, alcohol and foods with high sodium content may trigger Menieres disease. A 2-gram/day low-salt diet can help control vertigo in Menieres disease.
Menieres disease is a disorder of the balance and hearing organs in the inner ear. The symptoms include vertigo, fluctuations in hearing, tinnitus (ringing of the ears) and pressure in the ears. Along with that, one may experience dizziness which in turn may cause nausea and vomiting. The treatment for Menieres disease depends on various factors. Hence, an open discussion with the doctor can help to determine the best treatment strategy in your personal case.
