Pharmacodynamics

An agonist of H1 receptors of the vessels of the inner ear and an antagonist of H3 receptors of the vestibular nuclei of the central nervous system. By direct agonistic action on the H1 receptors of the vessels of the inner ear, as well as indirectly through action on the H3 receptors, it improves microcirculation and capillary permeability, normalizes the pressure of the endolymph in the labyrinth and cochlea, and increases blood flow in the basilar artery.

It has a pronounced central effect, being an inhibitor of the H3 receptors of the nuclei of the vestibular nerve. Improves the conductivity in the neurons of the vestibular nuclei at the level of the brain stem.

The clinical manifestation of these properties is a decrease in the frequency and intensity of dizziness, a decrease in tinnitus, and an improvement in hearing if it is reduced.
