It is better to take betahistine and flunarizine for cerebral infarction with vertigo.
1. Betahistine has the effect of improving blood flow in the brain and is suitable for patients with cerebral infarction accompanied by vertigo. Some patients may experience side effects such as nausea and vomiting after using the drug, and it is prohibited for patients who are allergic to the components of the drug.
2. Flunarizine is a selective calcium channel blocker, which can block excessive calcium ions from entering the cells, preventing the overload of calcium in the cells, and improving cerebral microcirculation.
Adverse effects of flunarizine after administration include increased appetite, depression, drowsiness, constipation, breast pain, and weight gain. It is contraindicated in Parkinson’s disease, depression and other extrapyramidal disorders.
Dizziness associated with cerebral infarction is related to ischemia and hypoxia of brain tissue, and antiplatelet aggregating drugs, such as aspirin and clopidogrel, and statins, such as atorvastatin and resuvastatin, should also be given to prevent and treat the primary cause. Consider cardiac cerebral embolism to give anticoagulation therapy, such as warfarin, rivaroxaban and so on.
Patients with cerebral infarction who experience dizziness should consult a doctor in a timely manner to clarify the cause and strictly follow the doctor’s instructions for medication.
