Common Use

Antivert is an antihistamine used to treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness. It may also help manage vertigo. It works by blocking a chemical messenger in the brain, reducing or preventing vomiting.

Dosage and Direction

Consult your doctor before using Antivert. Take it orally with or without food, and do not exceed the prescribed dose.

Recommended doses for adults and children 12 years and older vary depending on the condition:

• For motion sickness: 5 to 50 milligrams one hour before traveling. Repeat every 24 hours if needed during the journey.
• For vertigo: 25 to 100 milligrams per day, divided into smaller doses as directed by your doctor.

Antivert is not recommended for children under 12 years old. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice.

Precautions

Use Antivert cautiously if you have a history of asthma, glaucoma, or an enlarged prostate gland. It may cause drowsiness, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery. Be cautious in hot weather or during exercise.

Do not use Antivert during pregnancy, while planning to become pregnant, or while breastfeeding without consulting your doctor. Breastfeeding is not recommended due to potential risks to the infant.

Contraindications

Antivert is not suitable for individuals who are hypersensitive to its components. It is also contraindicated during pregnancy.

Possible Side Effects

Serious side effects may include allergic reactions such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. Less serious side effects include blurred vision, dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, and drowsiness.

If you experience any unusual side effects, stop using Antivert and consult your doctor immediately.

Drug Interactions

Antivert may interact with alcohol, other antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine), and sedatives. Drug interactions may affect how medications work. Discuss with your doctor how to manage these interactions.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take a double dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Resume your regular dosing schedule the next day.

Overdose

Symptoms of an overdose may include unusual excitability, drowsiness, hallucinations, very slow or shallow breathing, and seizures. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.
