Increases Blood Flow: Betahistine has vasodilatory effects, meaning it widens blood vessels. This increases blood flow to the inner ear, helping reduce pressure and regulate fluid balance in the labyrinth of the ear.
Enhances Histamine Release: By blocking H3 receptors in the inner ear, betahistine increases histamine release. This enhances circulation in the inner ear.
Suppresses Vertigo Signals: Betahistine stimulates the vestibular nuclei in the brainstem directly. This stimulation may help suppress signals that cause vertigo.
