CAS 1104-22-9: meclizine dihydrochloride
Description:Meclizine dihydrochloride is an antihistamine primarily used to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with motion sickness and vertigo. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and alcohol, making it suitable for various pharmaceutical formulations. The compound acts as a selective antagonist of the H1 histamine receptor, which helps to alleviate symptoms by blocking the effects of histamine in the body. Meclizine dihydrochloride has a relatively long duration of action, which contributes to its effectiveness in managing motion sickness. It is typically administered orally and may be available in tablet or chewable form. Common side effects can include drowsiness, dry mouth, and fatigue, which are typical of many antihistamines. Due to its sedative properties, caution is advised when operating machinery or driving after taking the medication. Overall, meclizine dihydrochloride is a valuable therapeutic agent in the management of vestibular disorders and motion-related symptoms.
