What Betahistine Dihydrochloride Is and How We Compound It for Hitchcock
What is betahistine, exactly? A histamine look-alike that you take by mouth. Canada and much of Europe prescribe it for Meniere's disease. The US doesn't sell it, so here it's compounded, one prescription at a time. We fill those orders for Hitchcock and the rest of Houston Metro, including other Houston Metro towns like Texas City and Katy. If you live off State Highway 6 in Hitchcock, the delivery is free too.
The pharmacist goes through the order, the salt form and the directions. Then we get to work. If the prescription has expired, we'll need a new one before a refill. Not sure where your order stands? Phone 972-214-0350.
This is general information and not medical advice. Ask your prescriber.
Is a Betahistine Capsule Available in Hitchcock?
No drugstore in Hitchcock carries betahistine, and none can order it, since no US product exists. Compounding allows the pharmacy to prepare it for one patient at a time. We make it in our Plano pharmacy once we have a prescription, then deliver it to you. Pickup is there if you want it. It's prescription only, and the prescriber makes the call.
Is Nasal Spray Betahistine Available in Hitchcock?
Betahistine nasal spray is available, prepared as a compound at 80 mg/mL. Quantity options are 3 mL, 6 mL, 12 mL and 18 mL, or as your prescription states. Each order is prepared for one patient on a prescriber's order, and delivery is free anywhere in Texas.
What Prescribers Use Betahistine For
How it works for you is something we can't predict. Ask your prescriber. It hasn't been proven either way, and certainty is low. The usual reasons are Meniere's disease and vertigo that starts in the inner ear, at times with tinnitus or a full feeling in the ear. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.
Please don't treat this as medical advice. Ask your prescriber.
Betahistine Side Effects
Rash and itching come up less often.
Labels from other countries talk about stomach upset, nausea and headaches most. Your prescriber and pharmacist should know about asthma, ulcers or pheochromocytoma, and about any antihistamines or MAO inhibitors you take.
Frequently Asked Questions
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 compounding pharmacy such as ours can fill that order when the prescriber sends it.
Can I buy betahistine over the counter?
There is no over-the-counter option. You need a prescription, and the order has to be filled by a compounding pharmacy.
What form does compounded betahistine come in?
You receive capsules compounded for you alone. The products sold in other countries are not an option, and the order specifies everything else.
How far is UnityRX Pharmacy from Hitchcock, and do I need to visit?
You do not have to visit: delivery to Hitchcock is free of charge. Should you want to stop by, the pharmacy is at 811 E Plano Pkwy Ste 116 in Plano, roughly three and a half to four and a half hours by car from most of Houston Metro.
What are the side effects of betahistine?
Overseas labels list stomach upset, nausea and headache most often, with caution for asthma and ulcers. Ask your prescriber and pharmacist about your own case.
Why can't you get betahistine in the US?
An earlier approval was pulled over doubts about the efficacy evidence, and no manufacturer has filed again. It is not banned, which leaves compounding for one patient on a prescriber's order.
Do you deliver compounded betahistine to Hitchcock?
We do, at no charge, to every address in Hitchcock. Pickup at 811 E Plano Pkwy Ste 116 in Plano is the alternative.
Is betahistine 16 mg available?
Yes. Betahistine 16 mg is available as a compounded capsule, as are 8 mg and 24 mg, based on your prescriber's request. Send the order to UnityRX and we prepare the strength written. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.
What do prescribers use betahistine for?
Prescribers think of it chiefly for Meniere's disease and vertigo of inner-ear origin, and some add tinnitus or ear fullness to that list. Findings vary between studies, so the prescriber makes the call. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.
What is betahistine?
It is a histamine-related medicine used abroad, mainly for Meniere's disease. In the US we prepare it as a compounded capsule on a prescriber's order for one named patient.

Yes, by e-prescribe, by fax to 972-214-0351, or by phone at 972-214-0350. A prescription held at another pharmacy moves through our online transfer form.
