Good morning :) I have dizziness, tinnitus. One doctor prescribed me betaserc 24 mg and vinpotone 5 mg, and when I went to another doctor after finishing these drugs, he prescribed me Vinpoven forte 10 mg and Artigo 20 + 40 mg . I am sick with glaucoma and I do not know if these drugs are suitable for me, I am 72 years old. The doctor said that my diseases are caused by the cervical spine and I have a problem with it. Please reply. Thank you :)

As a pharmacist, I am not able to replace a full-fledged medical consultation on the basis of such a brief description, but I will try to give general information about the prescribed medications: 1. Betaserc (betahistine): It is used to treat dizziness and other ailments associated with disorders of the vestibular system, which can manifest as tinnitus and balance disorders. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/10486/betaserc-tabletki/apteki?pvid=27834#internetowe 2. Vinpoton (vinpocetine) and Vinpoven forte: These are drugs with the same active substance. Vinpocetine is used to treat cerebral circulation disorders that can help relieve symptoms such as dizziness and tinnitus. Vinpoton: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/82579/vinpoton-tabletki/apteki?pvid=118005#internetowe Vinpoven Forte: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/99353/vinpoven-forte-tabletki/apteki?pvid=247565#stacjonarne 3. Artigo: It is a combined preparation with antiemetic and anti-dizziness effects. This medicine should not be used in patients with angle-closure glaucoma. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/101022/artigo-tabletki/apteki?pvid=250499#internetowe Glaucoma is not a contraindication to the use of drugs Betaserc and Vinpoton / Vinpoven. In case of doubt, whether there are appropriate drugs in your case, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. It is the doctor who decides whether to treat the patient m.in based on the history of the disease and the previous response to treatment. Only a doctor can decide on a possible change in pharmacotherapy.
