Stugeron Forte

Stugeron Forte contains Cinnarizine, an antihistamine your doctor or pharmacist may recommend to treat the symptoms of nausea caused by chemotherapy, vertigo, or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (also called BPPV) and other forms of motion sickness. BPPV is the most common form of vertigo. It can occur when calcium crystals contained in the otolith organs of your ear become dislodged and move into one of the loop-shaped structures. This causes a sensitivity to head positions that it would not normally respond to and results in a dizzy feeling which can provoke nausea.

Motion sickness is basically your eyes, ears, skin, and muscles giving your brain conflicting signals regarding what your body is doing. Your eyes are reading a book, for instance, but your body is moving in a car. This causes confusion that can lead to nausea. Taking Stugeron Forte as directed will interfere with the transmission of signals between your inner ears’ vestibular apparatus and the vomiting center found in the hypothalamus located underneath your brain in order to inhibit the activity of the hair cells that send signals regarding movement.

Even though Stugeron Forte is available without a prescription, there may be the possibility of unintended side effects when combined with other medications. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining Stugeron Forte with other medications.
