Meclizine is an antihistamine used to treat dizziness, nausea, and vomiting associated with motion sickness. It may also be effective against Meniere’s disease, labyrinthitis (inflammation of nerves in inner ear), and side effects of radiation treatment. This medication works by its anticholinergic effects, blocking a molecule known as acetylcholine. This stops nerve impulses that cause certain involuntary body functions.
