Vomirap Tablet MD


Product introduction

Vomirap Tablet MD is used in the treatment of vertigo (dizziness) due to ear problems (Meniere’s syndrome and other labyrinthine disorders), nausea, vomiting, and migraine caused by various conditions. Additionally, can be used as a short-term treatment for non-psychotic anxiety.

It is dopamine receptor blocker.

Benefits of Vomirap Tablet MD

In Treatment of Vertigo

Vertigo means a spinning sensation or dizziness that is triggered due to frequent movement or in people suffering from Meniere’s disease. It usually happens due to problem in the ear (vestibular). Vomirap Tablet MD helps treat this sensation effectively. If you feel dizzy while getting up from the bed, sit for a while and then rise slowly to avoid having an accidental fall. It acts on the vestibular system and suppresses the spinning sensation.

In Treatment of Nausea

Vomirap Tablet MD is often used to prevent nausea and vomiting that may be caused as a side effect of some other medicine and in post-operative patients suffering from nausea/vomiting (in adults only). It acts on the receptors responsible for causing nausea and vomiting by blocking them.

In Treatment of Migraine

Vomirap Tablet MD helps treat and prevent migraine headaches. It changes the electrical activity in the brain, blocks chemicals responsible for pain sensation and also blocks signals that cause nausea/vomiting associated with migraines. By preventing and reducing the frequency of migraine headaches, it can help you carry out your daily activities and have a better quality of life.

In Treatment of Short term anxiety

Vomirap Tablet MD reduces the symptoms of excessive anxiety and worry that are triggered only at the time of stressful conditions that last for a shorter duration. These could be job interviews, exams, stage performances, etc. It can effectively manage feelings of restlessness, tiredness, difficulty concentrating, and feeling irritable.

Side effects of Vomirap Tablet MD

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Vomirap

  • Drowsiness
  • Orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering of blood pressure on standing)

How to use Vomirap Tablet MD

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Do not handle the tablets with wet hands. Put it in your mouth but do not swallow it. Vomirap Tablet MD is to be taken with food.

How Vomirap Tablet MD works

Vomirap Tablet MD is a vestibular suppressant, i.e., it suppresses the vestibular apparatus in the inner ear by blocking the H1 receptor and stops vertigo. It acts within 30 minutes and, therefore, is effective during acute attacks. It also acts as a dopamine antagonist. Dopamine controls the region in the brain that causes nausea and vomiting, and this medicine blocks the action of dopamine. Therefore, Vomirap Tablet MD shows an anti-nauseating and antiemetic action. The mechanism of action by which prochlorperazine relieve headache and anxiety is probably related to it being serotonin (5HT3) receptor antagonist and dopamine (D2) receptor antagonist.
