BUCLIZINE

About

BUCLIZINE belongs to the class of medications called antihistamines and antiallergic agents used to relieve allergic conditions and to prevent nausea, vomiting and motion sickness. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements known as allergens. Nausea is feeling an urge to vomit, whereas vomiting is when you throw up.

BUCLIZINE contains Buclizine, which works by blocking the action of chemical messengers that cause allergic symptoms. Thus, it helps treat allergic conditions. BUCLIZINE prevents nausea and vomiting by inhibiting the vomiting centre in the brain from receiving the nerve messengers that cause motion sickness.

In some cases, BUCLIZINE may cause diarrhoea, dry mouth, dizziness, drowsiness, headache and indigestion. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, you are advised to consult the doctor if any of the side effects persist or worsen.

Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Drive or operate machinery only if you are alert, as BUCLIZINE may impair your ability to drive. Avoid or limit the consumption of alcohol while on treatment with BUCLIZINE. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Allergy: It occurs when the immune system responds to foreign elements known as allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mould spores, medicines, food or insect bites. Symptoms include itching, watery eyes, swelling, runny nose, itchy skin, and sneezing.

Nausea & Vomiting: Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which the person feels an urge to vomit, whereas vomiting is an uncontrollable reflex that expels the contents of the stomach through the mouth. Nausea and vomiting may occur separately or together. The common causes include motion sickness, emotional stress, indigestion, food poisoning, high fever or overeating.

Motion sickness: It is an illness caused due to motion during travelling by car, plane, boat, or train. The body’s sensory organs send mixed signals to the brain, causing dizziness, light-headedness, nausea or vomiting. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, uneasiness, dizziness, trouble maintaining balance or loss of balance.

FAQs
