What is Pelton-C Tablets?
Pelton-C is a prescription combination tablet containing Domperidone Maleate 19.10mg and Cinnarizine 20mg, used to treat nausea, vomiting, vertigo, and motion sickness (چکر آنا، متلی، اور قے). Domperidone prevents nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine receptors in the gut and brain. Cinnarizine reduces dizziness and balance disturbances by blocking calcium channels in the inner ear and suppressing histamine activity. Together, they provide combined relief for patients experiencing both nausea and vertigo, particularly those with inner ear disorders such as Meniere's disease.
What is Pelton-C Used For?
Vertigo and Balance Disorders: Treats dizziness, loss of balance, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears) associated with inner ear disorders including Meniere's disease. Nausea and Vomiting: Relieves sickness associated with inner ear disturbances and gastrointestinal disorders. Motion Sickness: Prevents and relieves dizziness and nausea during travel by car, sea, or air.
How Does Pelton-C Work?
Domperidone Maleate blocks dopamine D2 receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the brain and in the gut, preventing the signals that cause nausea and vomiting. Cinnarizine blocks calcium channels in the smooth muscle of the inner ear blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the excessive fluid pressure that causes vertigo and dizziness. It also blocks histamine H1 receptors, which further suppresses the vestibular system's overactivity responsible for motion sickness and balance disturbances.
