How Betacitam Tablet works
Betacitam Tablet is a combination of five medicines: Betahistine, Vitamin D3, Ginkgo Biloba, Piracetam and Vinpocetine. Betahistine improves blood flow in the inner ear which reduces the pressure of excess fluid in the inner ear. Vitamin D3 is added as it's deficiency may be a cause of Miniere's disease.

Piracetam works by further protecting the brain and nervous system against shortness of oxygen and also affects various channels on nerve cells.
