Betahistine acts mainly on the histamine H1 and H3 receptors of the inner ear and the vestibular nuclei of the CNS. Through direct agonistic action on the H1 receptors of the vessels of the inner ear, as well as indirectly through the impact on the H3 receptors, improves microcirculation and capillary permeability, normalizes the endolymph pressure in the maze and cochlea. However, betahistine increases blood flow in the basilar artery. It has a pronounced central effect, being an inhibitor of the H3 receptors of the nuclei of the vestibular nerve. Improves conductivity in the neurons of the vestibular nuclei at the level of the brain stem. The clinical manifestation of these properties is to reduce the frequency and intensity of dizziness, reduce tinnitus, and improve hearing in case of its decrease.
