meclizine hydrochloride is it good for tinnitus? i bought dramamine (dimenhydrinate) all day and it has 25 mg of that ingredient. how should i take this medication?

Accepted Answer

Not helpful: Meclizine and dramamine (dimenhydrinate) both can help dizziness, and the nausea and vomiting accompanying motion sickness, but in my experience has no effect on tinnitus.  Maybe see an ear specialist.

Question 6

wondering, can i get antivert (meclizine) otc?

Accepted Answer

No, but yes . . .: Typically, over-the-counter medications (not to be confused w/dietary supplements) are half-dose versions of their branded prescription-only counterparts. However, Meclizine appears to be an exception as it is available by prescription only as Antivert (meclizine) and available over-the-counter as dramamine, both at the same doses. So can you buy Antivert (meclizine) otc? No. But you can buy dose-equivalent dramamine.

There are many other side-effects listed including severe allergic reactions and even death but i believe the three ds are the most common s/e. Look up the drug and precautions on drugs.Com.

Question 9

can i take 20mg goli melatonin and dramamine together?

Accepted Answer

: We usually don't endorse supplements which are not investigated by the FDA for fear of contaminants. Melatonin &amp; dramamine taken together isn't recommended in the elderly because of potential side effects of dizziness, unsteadiness, &amp; confusion.

Question 10

labrynthitis. how long will i need antivert (meclizine)?

Accepted Answer

Correct diagnosis: Labyrinthitis is strictly speaking, an inflammation of the inner ear (hearing and balance).  The term is loosed very loosely by a general physician.  If you truly have spinning (vertigo), see an ENT doctor.  The diagnosis may vary from positional vertigo, to meniere's disease, to even an acoustic tumor.  You need an audiogram and balance function testing to make a diagnosis.
