Veltec 8Mg Tablet

Veltec 8Mg Tablet is the medicine prescribed in case of Meniere’s disease. It basically reduces the number of episodes of vertigo associated with this disease. Besides this, hearing problems or tinnitus which occur as the common symptoms of Meniere’s disease, are also relieved by the application of Veltec 8Mg Tablet.

This medicine cannot stop these symptoms completely but definitely helps to minimise them. Veltec 8Mg Tablet is analogous to histamine. It works on the mechanism of reducing pressure due to excess fluid in the inner ear. This is done by improving the blood flow to the inner ear.
