Enier

Enier is a combination medicine that contains Betahistine, primarily used for managing balance disorders of the inner ear. It improves blood flow in the inner ear, thereby reducing pressure buildup and alleviating symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and vertigo. Enier is often prescribed to patients suffering from Ménière’s disease and other vestibular disturbances.

 Doctor’s Review

Dr. Imran Sheikh, MBBS, FCPS (ENT Specialist)
“In my ENT practice, I often prescribe Enier for patients experiencing recurrent vertigo, tinnitus, or balance disturbances related to Ménière’s disease. I have seen good results, especially in reducing dizziness episodes. I usually remind my patients that it may take a few weeks of consistent use before noticeable improvement. I also advise them to take the medicine after meals to prevent stomach irritation. When monitored properly, Enier is a well-tolerated and effective option.”
