BPPV Drugs
Anti-Nausea drugs cover up the symptoms associated with BPPV but do not have any effect on the prognosis or duration of BPPV. Gravol, Maxeran, Ondansetron, Antivert, Dramamine, are examples of commonly used anti-nausea medications
Sedatives (Anxiolytics) can also be used to mask the disabling symptoms associated with BPPV. These medications may still have a role to play in the management of BPPV but do not effect the course of the disease. Ativan and Lorazepam are commonly used as well as mild sedatives such as Benadryl.
Other medications called Beta-Histones are available in some countries which may have an effect on the dizziness caused by the ear. Serc is commonly prescribed for conditions such as Meniere's Disease. Its role in BPPV is still unclear.
