Stugeron (Cinnarizine)
Stugeron (Cinnarizine), is an antihistamine widely used to treat symptoms of nausea, vertigo, and motion sickness. It works by reducing the activity in the vestibular (balance) system in the inner ear, which helps alleviate dizziness, spinning sensations, and balance issues. By blocking specific histamine receptors, Stugeron prevents the brain’s overstimulation, effectively reducing symptoms of motion sickness and inner ear disturbances.
