A member asked:
Recently had vertigo, took anti-vert for a few days and felt better so i stopped taking it. will it get rid of fluid in my ear if i take it again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The Antivert (meclizine) is a vestibular (balance system/inner ear) suppressant. It is only for dizziness/vertigo and shouldn't affect ear fluis one way or the other.
