Question : I have nausea and dizziness and have been prescribed meclizine. I only have one kidney and would not want to take anything that is detrimental to a kidney. Do you think meclizine is a good option for me?

Brief Answer:
yes, unless your kidney is not fully functional

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

if your creatinine levels are normal then your kidney is probably fully functional. In that case, meclizine is not supposed to cause harm.

Kind Regards!
