Betahistine
is an antivertigo biologic aboriginal used for alleviative blackout assosicated
with Ménière's disease. It is aswell frequently used for patients with
antithesis disorders.
Betahistine
primarily acts as a histamine H1-agonist with 0.07 times the action of
histamine. Stimulating the H1-receptors in the close ear causes a vasodilatory
aftereffect and added permeability in the claret argosy which after-effects in
bargain endolymphatic pressure. Betahistine is believed to act by abbreviation
the absurd action of acoustic vestibular organs as able-bodied as by accretion
vestibulocochlear claret flow. Doing so aids in abbreviating affection of
blackout and antithesis disorders. Betahistine aswell acts as a histamine
H3-receptor adversary which causes an added achievement of histamine from
histaminergic assumption endings which can added access the absolute H1-agonist
activity. Furthermore, H3-receptor animosity increases the levels of
neurotransmitters such as serotonin in the brainstem, which inhibits the action
of vestibular nuclei, allowance to restore able antithesis and abatement in
blackout symptoms.
Betahistine
is metabolized primarily into 2-pyridylacetic acid and is after excreted in the
urine.
