What medication should be taken after repositioning treatment for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) to consolidate the therapeutic effect?
Under normal circumstances, after repositioning treatment for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), patients may take medications such as methoxyphenamine hydrochloride tablets, betahistine mesylate tablets, flunarizine hydrochloride capsules, triamterene tablets, and amitriptyline hydrochloride tablets as directed by a physician for consolidation therapy. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical consultation is recommended. Specific details are as follows:
1. Methoxyphenamine Hydrochloride Tablets
Methoxyphenamine hydrochloride tablets belong to anti-motion sickness agents that alleviate dizziness by affecting the central nervous system. After BPPV repositioning, this medication may help relieve symptoms.
2. Betahistine Mesylate Tablets
Betahistine mesylate tablets improve inner ear circulation and can be used to relieve symptoms such as vertigo and tinnitus. After BPPV repositioning, this medication may be taken under medical guidance for treatment.
3. Flunarizine Hydrochloride Capsules
This medication is a vasodilator that helps improve symptoms associated with cerebral ischemia and cerebral thrombosis, and can also alleviate vertigo caused by BPPV. It may be used for consolidation therapy following BPPV repositioning.
4. Triamterene Tablets
Triamterene works by increasing the threshold for nerve electrical impulses, slowing the generation of nerve impulses, and reducing the rate of action potential formation, thereby inhibiting the generation and transmission of nerve impulses. This medication may assist in consolidation therapy for BPPV.
5. Amitriptyline Hydrochloride Tablets
Amitriptyline hydrochloride tablets are sedatives used to control symptoms of BPPV. They primarily exert their effects by influencing the central nervous system to reduce symptom severity.
During medication, it is important to maintain healthy lifestyle habits and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods such as Sichuan pepper, chili peppers, and garlic, which may interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment.
