Treatment Information
Overview
Stugeron 15 mg tablets is used to help avoid travel sickness and to relieve the symptoms of sickness, including nausea, vomiting, dizziness and vertigo. The active ingredient of this medicine is cinnarizine, an antihistamine that inhibits the signals from the inner ear to the vomiting center within the brain, thus treating motion sickness. Apart from this, Stugeron tablets are also used in the management of symptoms associated with balance disorders such as Meniere’s disease.
