Indications & Uses
Emego is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Meclizine works as an antiemetic with anticholinergic and antihistaminic effects, and it lowers the sensitivity of the inner ear's labyrinthine apparatus. This action likely involves nerve pathways connecting the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) to the vomiting center (VC), along with peripheral nerve pathways, the VC itself, or other centers within the CNS. Its effects typically begin within 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the dose, and last between 12 and 24 hours.
