In Vertigo
Equitrix PV Tablet improves blood flow to the inner ear which reduces the pressure of excess fluid there.

This medicine makes the symptoms milder and reduces the number of times you get the symptoms.
It will be more effective if you take this medicine regularly as prescribed so try not to miss doses. It may take a couple of weeks before you notice any improvements but keep taking it, even if you do feel better, until your doctor advises it is safe to stop.
