What Betahistine Dihydrochloride Is
Betahistine looks a lot like histamine, a chemical the body uses to pass signals around, including in the inner ear. It acts on histamine receptors (a weak H1 agonist and an H3 antagonist, if you want the pharmacology), but nobody has proven how that connects to Meniere's disease. That part is still a theory.
Overseas labels usually say betahistine dihydrochloride, and that's the salt most compounders use. While searching you'll also run into betahistine hydrochloride and betahistine mesilate, which are related forms. Your prescriber picks one on the order, and we make exactly that.
Where it's licensed, people take it by mouth for Meniere's syndrome and for vertigo that starts in the inner ear. Reviews of the research, like the StatPearls entry on betahistine and an NCBI evidence review, rate the certainty of the evidence as low. So whether to use it is a call for the prescriber after a proper evaluation. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.

What Prescribers Use Betahistine For
Most prescribers who write for betahistine are thinking about Meniere's disease or repeat spells of vertigo from the inner ear. Meniere's brings episodes of spinning, ringing in the ear, changes in hearing and a full, pressured feeling. Some prescribers also consider betahistine for the tinnitus and fullness that come along with it.
The studies don't agree. A few trials found little difference from placebo, and others saw a signal that smaller studies couldn't confirm, so reviews rate the certainty low. That's why this page won't tell you betahistine will help any particular person. Whether it fits, and what to try first, is the prescriber's decision. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.

Betahistine Capsule: How UnityRX Prepares It
It starts with the prescriber's order. Our pharmacist checks it for the patient, the salt form, the dosage form and the directions, then compounds capsules for that one patient in Plano. A betahistine product of the kind sold overseas isn't available through US pharmacies, so the compounded capsule is what we prepare. The bulk ingredient comes from a supplier that provides a certificate of analysis for every lot, and we check the finished capsules before they go out. No prescription, no betahistine, and refills need a current one.
Is Nasal Spray Betahistine Available in Texas?
Betahistine nasal spray is available, prepared as a compound at 80 mg/mL. Choose from 3 mL, 6 mL, 12 mL or 18 mL, or follow the quantity on the prescription. Prescription only. Your prescriber makes that decision, and we ship free across Texas.
Betahistine Side Effects
Labels in countries where betahistine is licensed list stomach upset, nausea and headache most often. Rash and itching turn up less. They advise caution if you have asthma, a history of peptic ulcer or pheochromocytoma, and they warn about interactions with antihistamines and MAO inhibitors.
That's not a complete list, and it comes from labels written for other countries, not a US product. Tell your prescriber and pharmacist about everything you take. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.
Where to Buy Betahistine in Texas
Not at a drugstore counter, and not over the counter. Betahistine is prescription only everywhere in the US, and chain pharmacies can't fill it because there's no commercial product for them to stock. A Texas-licensed compounding pharmacy can prepare it once a prescriber sends the order.
That's us. We ship your capsules to your door anywhere in Texas at no charge, and anyone who'd rather pick up can come to the pharmacy in Plano.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Can't You Get Betahistine in the US, and How Do Texans Get It?
No company sells a betahistine product in the United States. A past US approval was withdrawn over questions about the efficacy evidence, and no maker has returned, but the ingredient isn't banned. Texans get it through compounding: a licensed prescriber writes a prescription for one named patient, and a compounding pharmacy such as UnityRX prepares it under that order. It can't be bought over the counter, and ordering from overseas websites means no licensed US pharmacist has reviewed the product or the prescription.
Can I buy betahistine over the counter?
No. In the US it needs a prescription and can only be compounded by a pharmacy. Anything sold online without one skips pharmacist review.
How is betahistine dosed and how long is it taken?
The prescriber sets the strength, schedule and length of use for each patient, and UnityRX compounds exactly what is written.
What are the side effects of betahistine?
Product information abroad lists stomach upset, nausea and headache most often, and rash or itching less often. Cautions apply for asthma, peptic ulcer and pheochromocytoma. Ask your prescriber and pharmacist about your own situation.
Is betahistine an antihistamine, and how does it work?
It acts on histamine receptors, as a weak H1 agonist and an H3 antagonist, so it isn't a typical antihistamine. How that relates to ear symptoms is proposed, not established.
Is betahistine prescribed for Meniere's disease?
Yes. It is one of the medicines prescribers consider for Meniere's disease, mostly outside the US. Studies are of low certainty, and we promise no outcome. Your prescriber can walk you through the options.
How long can you take betahistine for vertigo?
The prescriber sets the duration and reviews it. UnityRX refills only against a current prescription, and we state no time frames.
Is betahistine only for vertigo?
Prescribers mainly consider it for vertigo and other Meniere's symptoms such as tinnitus and ear fullness. Any other use is the prescriber's decision, and we make no outcome claims.
What do prescribers use betahistine for?
Mostly Meniere's disease and recurrent vestibular vertigo, along with the tinnitus and ear fullness that can come with them. The evidence is mixed and the prescriber decides whether it fits. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.
How far is UnityRX Pharmacy, and do I need to visit?
You don't need to visit. We deliver compounded medication anywhere in Texas for free. If you want to see us, the pharmacy is at 811 E Plano Pkwy Ste 116, Plano, about 20 to 40 minutes by car from most of Dallas-Fort Worth and a few hours from Houston, Austin or San Antonio.
Is betahistine available in the United States?
Betahistine is not FDA-approved and is not sold commercially in the United States. In Texas it is available only as a compounded prescription prepared for one patient, and only a licensed prescriber can decide whether it is appropriate. A past US approval was withdrawn over questions about the efficacy evidence, and no maker has returned. It isn't banned, so a prescriber can order it compounded for one patient, which is the only route.
Is betahistine used for blood pressure?
No. It isn't a blood pressure medicine. Patients ask because it acts on histamine receptors and can affect circulation, so direct any blood pressure question to the prescriber.
What is betahistine?
Betahistine is a histamine-analog medicine taken by mouth. It is licensed in Canada, much of Europe and other countries, and studied mainly for Meniere's disease symptoms. In the US, UnityRX prepares it only as a compounded prescription for one patient.
Where can I buy betahistine in Texas?
From a Texas-licensed compounding pharmacy filling a prescription, such as UnityRX Pharmacy in Plano. We deliver anywhere in Texas for free, and pickup at 811 E Plano Pkwy Ste 116 is also available.
What is the difference between betahistine dihydrochloride and betahistine hydrochloride?
They are different salt forms of the same active molecule. Labels abroad usually say dihydrochloride, and web searches often shorten it. Your prescriber names the form on the order, and UnityRX compounds the form that was written.
What form does compounded betahistine come in?
Capsules prepared for one patient. The products sold abroad aren't available here. The prescriber specifies the form and directions.
Is betahistine 16 mg available?
Yes. Compounded betahistine 16 mg is available, and so are 8 mg and 24 mg, depending on what your prescriber requests. The prescriber chooses the strength and directions, and UnityRX compounds the capsules exactly as written. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.
