Meclizine effectively treats vertigo and nausea symptoms. For vertigo, adults typically take 25-100 mg daily, often as a single dose. You might consider starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it as needed, always following your doctor’s instructions. Never exceed the maximum recommended dose.
To combat nausea, the usual adult dose is 25-50 mg, taken every 6-8 hours as needed. Again, start with the lowest effective dose and adjust based on your body’s response. For children, dosage depends heavily on age and weight; consult your pediatrician for appropriate guidelines.
Important Note: Meclizine can cause drowsiness. Avoid operating machinery or driving after taking it, especially when starting a new course or increasing the dosage. If symptoms persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider. This information is for general knowledge only and does not substitute professional medical advice. Always consult your doctor before starting any medication.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Discuss the use of meclizine with your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant. They can assess the risks and benefits for your specific situation.
