Combined Meclizine and Nicotinic Acid in the Management of Certain Chronic Vascular Headaches

Abstract

In a group of 134 cases of various types of headache, ANTIVERT® (a combination of meclizine and nicotinic acid) was tried after other drugs had failed to produce satisfactory results.The study showed that Antivert has considerable value in the treatment and prevention of different kinds of vascular headache and also other symptoms associated with nasal congestion, nasal allergy, acute and chronic sinusitis, infection or polyps. The authors emphasize that in treating headache, no one drug can be considered a cure-all or substitute for sound medical management, including supportive psychotherapy where indicated.
