Uses of Stemetil VM Tablet

Benefits of Stemetil VM Tablet

Treatment of Vomiting
Stemetil VM 3mg Tablet helps relieve vomiting caused by conditions such as stomach infections, migraine, motion sickness, or certain medicines. It works by blocking specific signals in the brain that trigger the vomiting reflex, helping reduce the urge to vomit and making the patient feel more comfortable.

Treatment of Migraine
Stemetil VM 3mg Tablet helps treat and prevent migraine headaches. It changes the electrical activity in the brain, blocks chemicals responsible for pain sensation, and also blocks signals that cause nausea/vomiting associated with migraines. By preventing and reducing the frequency of migraine headaches, you can help yourself carry out your daily activities and have a better quality of life.

Treatment of Short term anxiety
Stemetil VM 3mg Tablet reduces the symptoms of excessive anxiety and worry that are triggered only at the time of stressful conditions that last for a shorter duration. These could be job interviews, exams, stage performances, etc. It can effectively manage feelings of restlessness, tiredness, difficulty concentrating, and feeling irritable.

Treatment of Vertigo
Vertigo means a spinning sensation or dizziness that is triggered due to frequent movement or in people suffering from Meniere’s disease. It usually happens due to a problem in the ear (vestibular). Stemetil VM 3mg Tablet helps treat this sensation effectively. If you feel dizzy while getting up from bed, sit for a while and then rise slowly to avoid having an accidental fall. It acts on the vestibular system and suppresses the spinning sensation.

Treatment of Nausea
Stemetil VM 3mg Tablet is often used to prevent nausea and vomiting that may be caused as a side effect of some other medicine and in post-operative patients suffering from nausea/vomiting (in adults only). It acts on the receptors responsible for causing nausea and vomiting by blocking them.

How Stemetil VM Tablet works

Stemetil VM 3mg Tablet is a vestibular suppressant, i.e., it suppresses the vestibular apparatus in the inner ear by blocking the H1 receptor and stops vertigo. It acts within 30 minutes and, therefore, is effective during acute attacks. It also acts as a dopamine antagonist. Dopamine controls the region in the brain that causes nausea and vomiting, and this medicine blocks the action of dopamine. Therefore, Stemetil VM 3mg Tablet shows an anti-nauseating and antiemetic action. The mechanism of action by which prochlorperazine relieves headache and anxiety is probably related to it being a serotonin (5HT3) receptor antagonist and a dopamine (D2) receptor antagonist.
