Betaserc (betahistine hydrochloride), also sold as Serc, is an anti-vertigo medication given to treat balance disorders. Betahistine is a type of medication called a histamine analog. It works by improving blood flow to the inner ear and reducing pressure buildup. Betahistine is used for Meniere’s disease, which can cause dizziness (vertigo), ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and hearing loss.

Betaserc generic name

The generic name for Betaserc is betahistine hydrochloride. This is the same active ingredient found in both Betaserc and Serc tablets.

Generic betahistine works in the same way as brand-name Betaserc. Many patients choose the generic option because it is typically available at a lower cost while providing the same therapeutic effects when taken as instructed.
