Precautions and warnings

Patients should be advised that Meclizine Hydrochloride might make them less alert or affect their coordination. Because of this, they should not drive, use heavy machinery, or do anything that requires full attention while taking the medication. They should also avoid drinking alcohol. People with asthma, glaucoma, or an enlarged prostate should use this medicine carefully, as it may make these conditions worse.

Drug Interactions

Using this medication together with other drugs that slow down the central nervous system—such as sedatives, antipsychotics, anticholinergic medicines, or alcohol—can increase their side effects.

Contraindications

Meclizine Hydrochloride and Pyridoxine Hydrochloride should not be used by people who are allergic to these ingredients.

Mode of actions

Meclozine works by blocking the effects of histamine that can raise blood pressure and slightly blocks the action of acetylcholine. It reduces activity in the balance center of the inner ear and stops signals from travelling from the inner ear to the part of the brain that controls balance.
