Serc (Betahistine Hydrochloride) and/or alternatives

General Information On Serc

Serc or Betahistine hydrochloride is a prescription medicine used for treating balance disorders like Meniere’s disease and vertigo. Serc belongs to the category of histamine agonists that act on the patient’s inner ear, thus reducing pressure and treating symptoms like hearing loss, dizziness and tinnitus. There is a fluid in our ear which gives feedback to our brain about our physical position. If the balance of this fluid is disturbed, such as if its pressure increases, it causes sensations like nausea, dizziness, ringing in the ears, hearing problems, and vertigo. Serc acts on histamine receptors in the inner ear, thus reducing the pressure and filling the labyrinth of the inner ear. Your doctor can also recommend you to buy Serc in order to treat vascular cephalalgias.

Side Effects for Serc

Nausea, headache and stomach upset are common side effects associated with Serc. However, you need to contact your doctor if these effects persist or worsen. If you are allergic to Betahistine, you may experience signs of an allergic reaction such as breathing difficulty, hives, and swelling of the throat or face. If you experience any of these, then stop taking the medicine and seek medical help immediately. Pruritus or itching, disturbances like indigestion, constipation or diarrhea, and skin rashes are other adverse effects of the drug. Most of these get better on their own as your body gets used to the drug, but if not, you need to talk to your doctor as soon as possible.

Precautions

Your doctor will not recommend you to buy Serc if you are allergic to Betahistine or to any other ingredient used in the medicine. You should also not use Serc if you are suffering from pheochromocytoma or peptic ulcers. As alcohol, caffeine, nicotine in cigarettes and street drugs may affect the action of the medicine, you should inform your doctor if you take any of these. If possible, try to quit such habits or at least decrease their intake as long as the treatment is going on. Betahistine can pass into breast milk and therefore, it should not be used by a woman who is breastfeeding. It should also not be used during pregnancy, unless the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks to the unborn child. If you need to undergo a surgery during Serc treatment, make sure that you inform your surgeon that you are taking this medicine.

Serc Dosage

Serc 8mg or Serc 16mg pills need to be given to a patient three times a day. The strength of the pill given to the patient depends on his/her medical condition and response to the treatment.
