Stemetil MD Tablet

Product Overview
Stemetil MD Tablet is primarily used to manage dizziness (vertigo) associated with ear disorders like Meniere’s syndrome and other labyrinthine conditions. It is also prescribed for nausea, vomiting, migraines, and short-term relief of non-psychotic anxiety.

This medication should be taken after meals, following the dosage and duration recommended by your healthcare provider. Your prescribed dose depends on your health condition and how you respond to the treatment. It is important to complete the course as directed by your doctor, as this medicine is not intended for long-term use.

The most frequently reported side effect is drowsiness or sedation, so activities requiring mental alertness, such as driving or operating machinery, should be avoided while on this medication. Alcohol should also be avoided as it can increase drowsiness. Some people may experience a temporary drop in blood pressure when standing (orthostatic hypotension) or blurred vision; these usually improve with continued use. If any side effects cause concern, contact your doctor promptly.

Before starting Stemetil MD Tablet, inform your doctor if you have conditions such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), epilepsy, muscle weakness (myasthenia gravis), glaucoma (increased eye pressure), or any liver, kidney, or heart issues. Make sure to tell your doctor about all other medications you are taking, as some may interact with this tablet. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use.

Uses of Stemetil MD Tablet

• Managing vomiting

• Treating migraines

• Short-term relief of anxiety

• Controlling vertigo

• Reducing nausea

Benefits in Migraine Management
Stemetil MD Tablet helps alleviate and prevent migraine attacks by modulating brain electrical activity and blocking chemicals responsible for pain and nausea. By reducing the frequency and severity of migraines, it supports a better quality of life and allows you to carry on with daily tasks more comfortably.

Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and often diminish as your body adjusts to the medication. If symptoms persist or cause discomfort, consult your healthcare provider. Common side effects include:

• Drowsiness

• Orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing)

How to Use Stemetil MD Tablet
Take the tablet after meals, following your doctor’s instructions regarding dose and duration. Avoid handling the tablets with wet hands. Place the tablet in your mouth and allow it to dissolve without swallowing it immediately.

Mechanism of Action
Stemetil MD Tablet works as a vestibular suppressant by blocking H1 receptors in the inner ear, which helps reduce vertigo symptoms quickly, often within 30 minutes. It also acts as a dopamine antagonist, blocking dopamine receptors in the brain that influence nausea and vomiting. Additionally, it may block serotonin (5HT3) receptors, contributing to its effectiveness in alleviating headache and anxiety symptoms.

Safety Precautions

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol as it can increase sedation.

• Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before use, as safety during pregnancy is not well established.

• Breastfeeding: Use with caution; breastfeeding may need to be paused during treatment. Short-term use for nausea is generally considered low risk for the infant.

• Driving: May impair alertness and vision; avoid driving if affected.

• Kidney and Liver Conditions: Use cautiously, and consult your doctor for possible dose adjustments.

Missed Dose
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue your usual schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
