Common Uses of Enier Tablet

1. Meniere’s Disease: Enier tablet is a commonly used medication for the management of Meniere’s disease. It is a disorder of the inner ear that causes recurring episodes of vertigo (a spinning sensation), hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the affected ear.
2. Vertigo: Enier tablet is used to treat vertigo associated with various conditions, including vestibular disorders, vestibular migraines, and vestibular neuritis. Vertigo is characterized by a sensation of spinning or dizziness and can significantly impact balance and quality of life.

Off-label Uses of Enier Tablet

1. Tinnitus: Enier tablet is used off-label to manage tinnitus, a condition characterized by ringing or buzzing sounds in the ears. It is believed to work by improving blood flow and reducing pressure in the inner ear, which can help alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus.
2. Motion Sickness: Enier tablets can be used as a potential treatment for motion sickness. A condition is characterized by nausea, dizziness, and vomiting that occur during motion, such as traveling in a car, boat, or airplane.

Enier acts as a partial agonist at histamine H1 receptors in the brain. It has a higher affinity for H3 autoreceptors, which inhibits the release of histamine, and a lower affinity for H1 receptors, which leads to increased histamine activity. By acting on H1 receptors, Enier may help improve the microcirculation and blood flow in the inner ear.
