CNN 100 MR TAB

About

CNN 100 MR Tab contains Cinnarizine, an antihistamine with calcium channel blocking properties, primarily used for its anti-vertigo and anti-emetic effects. It works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vestibular sensory cells, thereby reducing the excitability of the vestibular system. This action helps to suppress nystagmus and other symptoms associated with vestibular disorders. Additionally, cinnarizine has antihistaminic (H1-receptor blocking) and anticholinergic properties, which contribute to its anti-emetic effects and its ability to reduce motion sickness.

The modified-release formulation ensures a sustained therapeutic effect, making it suitable for long-term management of chronic vestibular disorders. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as Meniere's disease, labyrinthine disorders, and for the prevention of motion sickness. By stabilizing the inner ear and reducing hypersensitivity to motion, cinnarizine helps to alleviate symptoms like dizziness, vertigo, tinnitus, and nausea.
