Overview
Single drug therapy is usually not effective to minimize the symptom, a combination of antihistamine and antiemetic are used to control vertigo. Definitive therapy is treating the underlying cause of vertigo.
Medical Therapy
- Acute/severe attacks of vertigo usually subsides in a day or two after brainstem compensation.[1]
- Supportive therapy includes bed rest, antihistamine, antiemetic (prochlorperazine, metoclopramide), benzodiazepines (diazepam,lorazepam) to relief the symptom.
- Meclizine is the common antihistamine used and is safe in pregnancy. Other antihistamines used are betahistine and dimenhydrinate.[2]
- Scopolamine (hyoscine hydrobromide) is a common anticholinergic used to treat the symptom.[3]
- Due to the sedative effect of these drugs they should be used carefully in the elderly.
- These drugs should not be used for a long period of time as it may delay the compensatory mechanism in the brainstem and result in the prolongation of vertigo symptom.
- Some patients may be a candidate for vestibular rehabilitation, it improves balance and decreases dizziness by exercises that stabilize gait and gaze.
