What Betahistine Dihydrochloride Is and How We Compound It for Salado
Betahistine is a medicine you swallow that acts on the same receptors histamine does. You can't buy it off a US shelf. Where it's licensed, it's mostly for Meniere's disease; here, it has to be compounded for you. We handle prescriptions from Salado and the rest of Central Texas, such as Killeen, Temple and Belton. Addresses along Interstate 35 in Salado are covered.
Our pharmacist reads every order before we make anything. We can refill it as long as the prescription is still active. Call 972-214-0350 if you want to talk through the order first.

Is a Betahistine Capsule Available in Salado?
There's no retail betahistine anywhere in the US, so a Salado drugstore has nothing to sell you. Compounding allows the pharmacy to prepare it for one patient at a time. Compounded in Plano, delivered to you. Picking it up is an option, not a requirement. You need a prescription, and whether it's right for you is the prescriber's decision.
Is Nasal Spray Betahistine Available in Salado?
Yes. We can prepare betahistine as a nasal spray with a strength of 80 mg/mL. A prescriber's order is needed. Talk with your provider about whether a compounded nasal spray is right for you. Available quantities are 3 mL, 6 mL, 12 mL or 18 mL, or the quantity written on your prescription.
What Prescribers Use Betahistine For
If a prescriber orders it, it's most often for Meniere's disease or inner-ear vertigo. Whether it suits you is your prescriber's decision. Studies point in different directions. That's why the certainty is low. Individual results vary. Consult your provider.

Betahistine Side Effects
Rash and itching come up less often. Labels abroad mention upset stomach, nausea and headaches first.
Let us and your prescriber know about asthma, ulcers or pheochromocytoma. Some medicines, like antihistamines and MAO inhibitors, can interact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy betahistine over the counter?
No. A prescription is mandatory, and only a compounding pharmacy can make it in the US.
Do you deliver compounded betahistine to Salado?
Yes, and the delivery costs nothing. Orders go to any Salado address, or you can pick up at 811 E Plano Pkwy Ste 116 in Plano.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What are the side effects of betahistine?
Reported effects include stomach upset, nausea and headache, and occasionally rash. People with asthma, ulcers or pheochromocytoma are told to be careful. Check with your prescriber and pharmacist.

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.
Is betahistine available in the United States?
