Stugeron is a potent antihistamine and calcium channel blocker specifically engineered to manage disorders of the inner ear and balance. It contains Cinnarizine, a medication that works by inhibiting the contraction of smooth muscle cells in the blood vessels and interfering with the signals sent from the vestibular (balance) system in the inner ear to the brain. By "calming" these overactive signals and improving microcirculation in the inner ear, Stugeron effectively prevents nausea, dizziness, and the spinning sensation associated with motion and various balance conditions.
Product Type: Antivertigo / Anti-Motion Sickness Agent
Active Ingredient: Cinnarizine (25mg)
Manufacturer: Janssen (Original Brand)
Pack Size: 50 or 100 Tablets (Blister Pack)
Route: Oral
Suitability: Adults and children over 5 years of age
Stugeron is a primary clinical choice for restoring stability and preventing nausea:
Motion Sickness: Preventing "travel sickness" (seasickness, carsickness, or airsickness) when taken before the journey.
Vertigo & Dizziness: Treating the "spinning" sensation caused by inner ear imbalances.
Ménière’s Disease: Managing the symptoms of tinnitus (ringing in the ears), nausea, and vomiting associated with this chronic condition.
Cerebral/Peripheral Circulation: Sometimes used to improve blood flow in conditions involving poor circulation in the brain or extremities (as directed by a doctor).
Drowsiness: Stugeron can cause significant sleepiness. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or engage in dangerous activities until you know how it affects you. Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Stugeron, as it will drastically increase the sedative effects. Parkinson’s Disease: Use with extreme caution if you have Parkinson’s, as Cinnarizine can sometimes worsen tremors or muscle stiffness. Skin Testing: If you are scheduled for an allergy skin test, stop taking Stugeron at least 4 days before the test, as it can interfere with the results. Liver/Kidney Health: Consult your doctor if you have severe hepatic or renal impairment.
For maximum efficacy, Stugeron should be taken after meals to reduce the chance of stomach irritation.
Standard Dosage (Guideline Only):
Motion Sickness (Adults): Take one (1) tablet 2 hours before travel, then 1 tablet every 8 hours during the journey if needed.
Vertigo/Balance (Adults): Typically one (1) tablet three times daily.
Children (5–12 years): Usually half the adult dose.
Application Tips:
Take With Food: Swallow the tablet with a glass of water or milk immediately after a meal to protect your stomach lining.
Suck or Swallow: The tablets can be swallowed whole, or they can be sucked or chewed if preferred.
Timing for Travel: Do not wait until you feel sick to take it. Stugeron is much more effective at preventing motion sickness than treating it once it has started.
Common side effects include drowsiness, indigestion, or dry mouth. Long-term use in elderly patients may occasionally lead to weight gain or mild tremors. If you experience yellowing of the skin (jaundice) or severe skin rashes, contact Sanlive Pharmacy or your doctor immediately.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from direct sunlight. Keep the tablets in their original Janssen blister packaging until use. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Is it "Stronger" than Avomine (Promethazine)?
A: Both are effective. Stugeron (Cinnarizine) is often preferred for longer journeys or chronic vertigo because it is generally less sedating for some people than older antihistamines, though it still causes drowsiness.
Q: Can I use it for "Nausea" caused by food poisoning?
A: No. Stugeron is specifically for nausea related to the inner ear and motion. It is not an appropriate treatment for stomach flu or foodborne illness.
Q: How long does the effect "Last"?
A: One dose of Stugeron typically provides relief for about 6 to 8 hours.
Q: Can I take it if I am "Pregnant"?
A: Stugeron is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor decides the benefits clearly outweigh the risks.
