Since the effect of Cinnarizine-NAN on dizziness is dose-dependent, the dose should be increased gradually.

Symptoms such as drowsiness and gastrointestinal disturbances may occur. They are usually transient and can be prevented by gradually reaching the optimal dose.

A single case of cholestatic jaundice has been reported in the medical literature.
Rare cases of aggravation or development of extrapyramidal symptoms have been observed mainly in the elderly people during long-term treatment. In such cases, the treatment should be discontinued.

In the event of adverse reactions, including those not listed in this leaflet, one should stop using the medicinal product and consult a doctor.

Treatment: there is no specific antidote.

Gastric lavage in the first hour after an overdose, administration of activated charcoal, symptomatic and supportive therapy.

The concomitant use of alcohol, use of CNS depressants, or tricyclic antidepressants may increase the sedative effect of any of the listed pharmaceuticals or Cinnarizine-NAN.

Due to an antihistamine effect, cinnarizine can neutralize positive reactions during diagnostic skin tests (treatment should be canceled 4 days before testing).

If taking other medicines at the same time, one should consult a doctor.

Cinnarizine (like other antihistamine medicines) may cause stomach discomfort. Taking the medicinal product after a meal can reduce irritation of the gastric mucosa.

Since cinnarizine can cause drowsiness, it should be used with extreme caution in conjunction with medicinal products that have a depressant effect on the central nervous system.

For patients with Parkinson’s disease, cinnarizine should only be prescribed if the benefit of therapy outweighs the possible risk of aggravating the disease.

During treatment it is necessary to control blood pressure for the persons prone to hypotension.

Due to the availability of lactose, the medicinal product should not be administered to patients with galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption.

If symptoms persist or worsen while taking the medicine, one should consult a doctor.
