Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The drug has a direct agonistic effect on H1 receptors in the vessels of the inner ear and H3 histamine receptors in the vestibular nuclei of the nervous system. An improvement in capillary permeability and microcirculation was also noted, and endolymph pressure was normalized. At the same time, there is an increase in blood flow in the basilar artery.

When treated with Vescap, vestibular function is restored more quickly as a result of unilateral vestibular neurectomy, and central vestibular compensation is accelerated and facilitated.

This drug is characterized by a pronounced central effect, a decrease in the generation of influence potentials in the neurons of the medial and lateral vestibular nuclei, and relief of symptoms in vestibular vertigo and Meniere's syndrome.

Inside the body, the drug is quickly absorbed, slightly binding to plasma proteins. The maximum concentration in plasma is detected after 3 hours. As a result of metabolism, inactive metabolites are formed. The main part of the drug is excreted by the kidneys in the form of metabolites and a small part - unchanged.

pharmachologic effect

Vesticap is a synthetic analogue of histamine. Betahistine acts primarily on histamine H1 and H3 receptors in the inner ear and vestibular nuclei of the central nervous system.

Through a direct agonistic effect on the H1 receptors of the vessels of the inner ear, as well as indirectly on the H3 histamine receptors of the vestibular nuclei of the central nervous system; improves microcirculation and capillary permeability, normalizes endolymph pressure in the labyrinth and cochlea. At the same time, betahistine increases blood flow in the basilar artery. Accelerates the restoration of vestibular function after unilateral vestibular neurectomy, accelerating and facilitating central vestibular compensation (due to antagonism with H3-histamine receptors). It has a pronounced central effect, being an inhibitor of H3 receptors in the nuclei of the vestibular nerve. Dose-dependently reduces the generation of action potentials in neurons of the lateral and medial vestibular nuclei.

Relieves symptoms of Meniere's syndrome and vestibular vertigo. A stable therapeutic effect occurs after 14 days.

Pharmacokinetics

Suction and distribution

After taking the drug orally, betahistine is rapidly absorbed, and plasma protein binding is low. Time to reach Cmax in plasma is 3 hours.

Metabolism and excretion

Metabolized to inactive metabolites: 2-pyridylacetic acid (the main metabolite) and demethylbetagistine.

85-90% is excreted by the kidneys in the form of 2-pyridylacetic acid within 24 hours. Excretion of betahistine and demethylbetagistine by the kidneys is insignificant. Only a small part of betahistine and its metabolites is excreted through the intestines.

Reviews about Vesticap

Drugs with similar effects are often discussed online. At the same time, reviews about Vesticap are very varied. However, in most cases they are still positive.

According to users, this drug can be prescribed to patients with chronic headaches and tinnitus. The cause of these symptoms is usually high intracranial pressure. Taking Vesticap helps normalize blood pressure and relieve unwanted symptoms.

This drug is also taken by people with disorders of the vestibular apparatus. After a course of treatment, many people note a significant improvement in their condition.

In addition, Vesticap is a drug that is part of complex therapy for vegetative-vascular dystonia. As a result, weakness and dizziness disappear, and the general condition normalizes.

However, most patients say that no side effects develop, although in isolated cases severe nausea may occur. As experts point out, if there is no improvement for a long time or unpleasant symptoms appear, then you need to consult a doctor.

Contraindications

  • Hypersensitivity to any of the components of the drug
  • Pregnancy
  • Lactation period (due to lack of data)
  • Childhood
  • Lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency and glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome

With caution: peptic ulcer of the stomach or duodenum (including a history), pheochromocytoma, bronchial asthma. Patients in these groups should be monitored regularly during treatment.
