Vertigil Tablet

Introduction

Vertigil Tablet is a medication commonly prescribed to treat vertigo, dizziness, and other balance-related disorders. It contains the active ingredient Betahistine, which works by improving blood circulation in the inner ear, helping to reduce the symptoms of vertigo. This medication is often used to manage conditions like Meniere's disease, which is characterized by episodes of vertigo, ringing in the ears, and hearing loss.
