What Betahistine Dihydrochloride Is and How We Compound It for Houston
Betahistine is a pill that copies some of what histamine does in the body. You won't see it in a US pharmacy catalog. Elsewhere it's licensed mainly for Meniere's disease, so here it has to be compounded. Prescriptions from Houston, and nearby towns in Houston Metro all come to the same pharmacy. We deliver to homes along Interstate 610 and State Highway 99 and around One Park Place.
When the order arrives, the pharmacist reviews it before it goes to the bench. We can refill it as long as the prescription is still active. Not sure about something? Call us at 972-214-0350 and we'll walk you through it.
General information only, not medical advice. Please ask your prescriber.
Is a Betahistine Capsule Available in Houston?
A chain pharmacy in Houston won't have it. Wholesalers carry no US betahistine product, because there isn't one. A licensed compounding pharmacy can prepare it when a prescriber orders it. Bring us a prescription and we make it right here in Plano, then deliver to your door or hand it over at the counter if you'd rather pick up. No prescription, no order. Your prescriber makes that decision.
Is Nasal Spray Betahistine Available in Houston?
Betahistine nasal spray is available, prepared as a compound at 80 mg/mL. We prepare 3 mL, 6 mL, 12 mL or 18 mL, or another quantity as prescribed. A valid prescription is required, and your prescriber decides whether it is appropriate for you.
What Prescribers Use Betahistine For
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. Trials haven't lined up, and the evidence is rated low. We can't guarantee anything for Houston patients. Your prescriber makes the call. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.
This isn't advice for your own case. Please check with your prescriber.
Betahistine Side Effects
Some labels also list a rash or itchy skin. Your prescriber and pharmacist should know about asthma, ulcers or pheochromocytoma, and about any antihistamines or MAO inhibitors you take.
Stomach upset, nausea and headache top the list on overseas labels.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Can I buy betahistine over the counter?
No. A prescription is mandatory, and only a compounding pharmacy can make it in the US.
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.
How far is UnityRX Pharmacy from Houston, and do I need to visit?
No visit is needed, because delivery to Houston is free. Should you want to come in, 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 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.
Do you deliver compounded betahistine to Houston?
We send compounded betahistine to Houston free of charge. A courier delivers to the door, and Plano pickup is there if you prefer it.
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.
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. Shelf supply is not an option; a compounded order written for one patient is, and UnityRX can prepare it.
Can my Houston prescriber send a betahistine prescription to UnityRX?
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.
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.
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.
