What Betahistine Dihydrochloride Is and How We Compound It for Primera
Betahistine, in plain terms, is a histamine-type medicine for oral use. No US company sells it, even though other countries prescribe it for Meniere's disease. A compounding pharmacy makes it for each patient. Primera patients are covered, along with other Rio Grande Valley towns like Alton and Elsa.
The pharmacist double-checks the directions and salt form before we start. We refill only while the prescription is current. Our pharmacy line is 972-214-0350 if you want to talk it through.
This information isn't medical advice. Please ask your prescriber.
Is a Betahistine Capsule Available in Primera?
Neighborhood pharmacies in Primera can't order it because it has no US product. Compounding makes an individual preparation possible. With a prescription in hand, we prepare it at our Plano pharmacy and either deliver it to Primera or hold it for pickup. No over-the-counter version exists; the prescriber has the final say.
Is Nasal Spray Betahistine Available in Primera?
Yes. We can prepare betahistine as a nasal spray with a strength of 80 mg/mL. It requires a prescription and is prepared for the individual patient. Please ask your prescriber whether it fits your care. Quantities include 3 mL, 6 mL, 12 mL and 18 mL, or whatever the prescription specifies.
What Prescribers Use Betahistine For
You'll mostly see it ordered for Meniere's disease, and sometimes for inner-ear vertigo with tinnitus. We can't say how it will go for any Primera patient. Your prescriber decides. Research on it is mixed. Reviews call the evidence weak. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.
Not medical advice. Please ask your prescriber.
Betahistine Side Effects
Stomach upset, nausea and headache are what foreign labels list most often. A rash or itching shows up now and then.
Take extra care with asthma, ulcers or pheochromocytoma. Antihistamines and MAO inhibitors can interact, so share your list.
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. Nothing is on retail shelves, but a prescriber can still order a compounded version for you.
Can I buy betahistine over the counter?
No over-the-counter version exists. Only a prescription filled by a compounding pharmacy will do.
Do you deliver compounded betahistine to Primera?
We send compounded betahistine to Primera free of charge. A courier delivers to the door, and Plano pickup is there if you prefer it.
What form does compounded betahistine come in?
Capsules made for one patient. Overseas products can't be dispensed here, and the prescriber sets the form and directions.
What do prescribers use betahistine for?
Inner-ear vertigo and Meniere's disease are the usual reasons, occasionally along with ringing or fullness in the ear. Studies disagree, and the prescriber decides. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.
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 are the side effects of betahistine?
The usual reports are digestive upset, nausea and headache. Cautions exist for asthma, ulcer history and pheochromocytoma, so review your history with the prescriber and pharmacist.
Can my Primera 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 is betahistine?
Think of it as a histamine-related medicine used abroad for inner-ear symptoms. Here, UnityRX compounds it per prescription for a single patient.
Why can't you get betahistine in the US?
No company sells it here after an earlier approval was withdrawn when the evidence was questioned. Compounding for a single patient on a prescriber's order is still allowed.
How far is UnityRX Pharmacy from Primera, and do I need to visit?
No visit is needed, because delivery to Primera is free. Should you want to come in, the pharmacy is at 811 E Plano Pkwy Ste 116 in Plano, about eight to nine hours by car from most of Rio Grande Valley.
