Cinnarizine

Cinnarizine: An Effective Solution for Motion Sickness and Vertigo

This is a specialized antihistamine and calcium-channel blocker that is mostly used to control balance disorders and to alleviate inner ear symptoms. It is a well-known medication for the treatment of Vertigo (the sensation of spinning around) and is highly effective in the prevention of Motion Sickness when traveling. Other than balance or motion-sickness issues, cinnarizine is also administered as a peripheral vasodilator to increase blood supply to the extremities, as it is helpful to patients with Raynaud's disease or chronic cold extremities.

How It Works: The "Shield" for the Inner Ear

Calcium Channel Blocking: It blocks the excessive influx of calcium into the sensory cells of the inner ear, thus "dampening"—as it were—the incorrect signals sent to the brain that trigger a sense of imbalance.

Antihistaminic: It antagonizes the H1 receptors in the centers of the brain involved in vomiting, thereby ameliorating nausea and vomiting in travel and balance disorders.

Blood Circulation Enhancement: Despite being an antihistamine and a calcium-channel blocker itself, it interferes with the aggregation of red blood cells that tend to clog capillaries, thus promoting a smoother blood flow across constricted vessels.

Moonlight: A defoamer on the gastrointestinal tract, Dimethicone decreases the tension of bubbles, thus enabling elimination of the bloating feelings and letting the gas and air be expelled to lower enemy internal pressures.

Dimethicone Mode of Action
One central characteristic should be here: Impermeable Dimethicone does not pass into the bloodstream, but rather lies on the surface being treated as follows:
On the skin: it forms a non-greasy water-resistant film that reduces trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).
In the gut: It does a mechanical impact on the joining of small gas bubbles thereby making them let out with ease in witness is from differing motility.

Experiments Done & Application Tips
If Skin is Dry: Apply a cream or lotion after a bath while it is still slightly damp to seal moisture in.
Using a Diaper Rash: Clean the affected area well and let it dry. Apply a thick layer of Dimethicone ointment.
