Stugeron Tablet

Description
Stugeron 25mg tablets contain Cinnarizine, an antihistamine and calcium channel blocker commonly prescribed for motion sickness and vertigo. It works by reducing the sensitivity of the inner ear’s balance system and blocking signals to the vomiting center in the brain. This helps control dizziness, nausea, and balance disorders caused by vestibular dysfunction.
