Treatment of Migraine

Preventing and reducing the frequency of migraine headaches can make it easier to carry out daily activities and improve quality of life.

Treatment of Short term anxiety

Treatment of Vertigo
Vertigo is a condition that causes a spinning sensation or dizziness. It can occur due to frequent movement or conditions such as Meniere’s disease. It usually occurs because of a problem in the inner ear (vestibular system). Oset 8mg Tablet works by acting on the vestibular system and suppressing the spinning sensation, helping relieve vertigo.

How Oset Tablet works

Blocking dopamine signals, it helps reduce nausea and vomiting associated with vertigo. It usually begins to work within about 30 minutes and can help relieve symptoms during acute attacks.
