Medicinal Benefits

Betacitam Tablet is a blend of five medications: betahistine, ginkgo biloba, piracetam, vinpocetine, and vitamin D3. It is prescribed to treat symptoms of Meniere's disease including ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, vertigo, loss of balance, and hearing loss. Betahistine lowers the pressure of the excess fluid and improves blood flow to the inner ear. Piracetam protects the nervous system and brain from shortness of oxygen. Vinpocetine and Ginkgo biloba protect the brain from free radical damage and increase blood flow to the brain. Vitamin D3 provides essential nutrients. Together, they help treat Meniere's illness.
