Is Properazine Suitable For Combating Giddy Spells ?

My sister who is in her sixties living in Malaysia has been prescribed properazine to combat her giddy spells. But I m unsure on this medication as I think it is used for vomiting, nausea and mental health. Can you pls shed some light into this. Mary Jo

Hi Ms Mary Jo,

I have noted the symptoms your sister has as well as the medication prescribed to her.

I agree that properazine may not be the best medicine for her, even though it may reduce her dizziness a bit.

The best medications for her would be betahistine or cinnarizine tablets.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
