Brief Answer: Yes it can help her. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The vertigo caused by Meniere's Disease is often severe and uncomfortable. Vertifree is an over the counter available homeopathic medicine that helps in such symptoms. She can take the tablet for symptomatic relief. It is not likely to have any effect on the pathology itself. She can also get medicines like Vertin (Betahistine) and Stugeron (Cinnarazine) prescribed fro her ENT specialist after an examination. I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Praveen Tayal.
