What Betahistine Dihydrochloride Is and How We Compound It for Refugio
Betahistine is a pill that copies some of what histamine does in the body. Meniere's disease is the main reason it's prescribed abroad. In the US, compounding is the only way to get it. From Refugio to Woodsboro, we fill betahistine prescriptions across Coastal Bend and South Texas. Addresses close to Refugio County Courthouse in Refugio are covered.
Your prescription gets read by a pharmacist, not just filed. Refills depend on your prescriber's order staying current. Confused about your order? Call 972-214-0350.
This isn't medical advice. Please ask your prescriber about your situation.
Is a Betahistine Capsule Available in Refugio?
The regular wholesalers don't carry betahistine, so a Refugio pharmacy has nothing to order. The pharmacy can prepare it as a compounded medication for a specific patient. Send us a prescription and we'll compound it in Plano, then ship it to your Refugio address, or you can collect it at the pharmacy. Prescription only. That call belongs to your prescriber.
Is Nasal Spray Betahistine Available in Refugio?
Yes. We can prepare betahistine as a nasal spray with a strength of 80 mg/mL. You can order 3 mL, 6 mL, 12 mL or 18 mL, or the amount your prescriber writes. It requires a prescription and is prepared for the individual patient. Please ask your prescriber whether it fits your care.
What Prescribers Use Betahistine For
Results differ from trial to trial, so the evidence is weak. How it works for you is something we can't predict. Ask your prescriber. Meniere's disease comes up most, along with vertigo that starts in the inner ear and sometimes ringing in the ears. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.
That isn't medical advice, so please talk to your prescriber.
Betahistine Side Effects
Be sure your prescriber knows about any asthma, ulcer history or pheochromocytoma. Mention antihistamines and MAO inhibitors, too. Upset stomach, nausea and headaches top the list on overseas labels.
A rash or itching shows up now and then.
Frequently Asked Questions
What form does compounded betahistine come in?
A compounded oral capsule prepared for the individual. The prescriber chooses the form and directions.
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. Nothing is on retail shelves, but a prescriber can still order a compounded version for you.
Is betahistine 16 mg available?
Yes. Depending on what the prescriber writes, we prepare betahistine 8 mg, 16 mg or 24 mg capsules for the patient. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.
Do you deliver compounded betahistine to Refugio?
We send compounded betahistine to Refugio free of charge. A courier delivers to the door, and Plano pickup is there if you prefer it.
Why can't you get betahistine in the US?
After the earlier US approval was withdrawn, no company came back with a new application. Because betahistine is not prohibited, a prescriber may order a compounded version for a single patient.
What do prescribers use betahistine for?
Mainly Meniere's disease and recurrent vestibular vertigo, with tinnitus or ear fullness sometimes included. The research is mixed. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.

There is no over-the-counter option. You need a prescription, and the order has to be filled by a compounding pharmacy.
