Indications & Uses
Cinaryl is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Cinnarizine acts as an antihistamine, a labyrinthine sedative and a peripheral antivasoconstrictor. It is a selective calcium antagonist that inhibits the intracellular influx of Ca2+. By blocking Ca2+ influx through smooth muscle calcium channels, it prevents Ca2+-dependent contraction of arterial smooth muscle, thereby improving vestibular symptoms and preventing peripheral arterial disease.
Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Usual adult dose: 15 to 30 mg, taken three times a day. For children aged 5 to 12 years, half the adult dose is usually given. For motion sickness, a 30 mg dose is taken two hours before travel begins, followed by 15 mg every 8 hours during the journey. For peripheral arterial disease, the usual dose is 75 mg two to three times a day.
Side Effects
Side effects such as drowsiness and stomach or digestive upset are extremely rare. They tend to pass on their own and can usually be avoided by increasing the dose gradually to the right level. Allergic skin reactions and tiredness have been reported on rare occasions. In elderly people on prolonged treatment, worsening or new onset of Parkinson's-like symptoms (such as stiffness or tremor) has been reported very rarely. In such cases, treatment should be reduced or stopped.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Cinnarizine may cause drowsiness, so patients who notice this effect should avoid driving or operating machinery. It's also best to avoid alcoholic drinks while taking this medicine.
Contraindications
Cinnarizine has no specific contraindications, though it has been shown to noticeably lower blood pressure. Because of this, it is best used with reasonable caution in patients who already have low blood pressure.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Cinnarizine hasn't been thoroughly studied in pregnant women, so its safety during human pregnancy isn't firmly established, even though animal studies haven't shown it to cause birth defects. Given this uncertainty, Cinnarizine is not recommended for use during pregnancy.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Storage
Store Cinnarizine below 30°C, away from light and moisture. Keep it out of the reach of children.
