1. Betahistine — 16 mg

• Drug class: Anti-vertigo / histaminergic agent.

• It acts mainly through the histamine system, with H3-receptor antagonistic activity and weaker H1-receptor agonistic activity. (Medicines.org.uk)

• It is used particularly for vertigo associated with Ménière's disease, including vertigo, tinnitus and hearing-related symptoms. (Medicines.org.uk)

• The 16 mg strength is a commonly marketed betahistine strength. Some products specify 16 mg as betahistine dihydrochloride, which corresponds to about 10.42 mg betahistine base. (Medicines.org.uk)

Excipients

The photograph does not show the complete quantitative excipient list, so I would not assign specific excipients to Hiscot-16 without the back/side composition panel. Different betahistine manufacturers use different excipients. For example, other 16-mg betahistine products may contain lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, crospovidone, povidone, etc., but these should not be assumed to be the excipients in Hiscot-16. (Medicines.org.uk)

In short

HISCOT-16 = Betahistine 16 mg per tablet + pharmaceutical excipients q.s. (Tradeindia)

Main use: vertigo/dizziness, particularly Ménière's-related vertigo.
