Hello,

Vertin contains Betahistine.
It is an Anti Vertigo drug.
It does not have any major side effects.
Long term use of Betahistine in an asthmatics on beta 2 agonists as bronchodilator will have drug interactions.
Betahistine may decrease the levels of beta 2 agonists and the efficiency of the drug will come down.
