Cinrizal D 15mg/20mg Tablet is used to treat inner ear disorders, vertigo, nausea, and vomiting. It consists of Cinnarizine and Domperidone. Cinnarizine is an antihistamine drug that blocks the effects of histamine (a chemical substance produced in response to allergy) in the brain to reduce symptoms of travel sickness. It is also a calcium channel blocker and improves blood circulation in the inner ear, thus reducing symptoms caused by vertigo, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), and Meniere's disease. Domperidone is an anti-emetic drug (that eases vomiting symptoms) that works by blocking the action of dopamine in the brain, which causes nausea and vomiting. It is also a prokinetic agent that controls acid reflux and increases stomach muscle movements and contractions.
