Torhisgo 8

Torhisgo from Torrent contains betahistine, a histamine-like medicine that targets the inner ear. The lower strength is often used for starting therapy or for milder symptoms of Meniere's disease.

• Vertigo from Meniere's disease
• Tinnitus or ear ringing
• Hearing disturbance linked to Meniere's disease

Betahistine boosts blood flow in the inner ear and helps balance the fluid pressure inside it. By acting on histamine receptors, it dampens the signals that cause spinning sensations and ear pressure.

Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably with or after meals to settle the stomach. Take it as prescribed by your doctor.

• Stomach upset or nausea
• Headache
• Indigestion or bloating
• Occasional rash or itching

Avoid in active peptic ulcer or pheochromocytoma. Use carefully in asthma. Inform your doctor if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking antihistamines. Improvement may be gradual, so keep up the schedule advised.

Store below 25 degrees Celsius in a dry place. Keep blistered tablets in the carton, away from children.
