Idexis (Flunarizine)
Detailed Description:
Idexis contains flunarizine, a calcium channel blocker primarily prescribed for the prevention of migraine headaches and management of vestibular disorders such as vertigo. By blocking calcium entry into nerve cells and stabilizing vascular tone, Idexis reduces neuronal hyperexcitability that triggers migraines and helps restore balance in certain inner ear conditions.
Dosage and Administration:
-
Idexis is available in 10 mg tablets.
-
The usual adult dose is 10 mg once daily, preferably in the evening due to possible drowsiness.
-
In elderly patients, a lower dose of 5 mg daily may be recommended.
-
Take the tablet whole with a glass of water, ideally after food to minimize stomach irritation.
Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions. Do not increase or decrease your dose without medical advice.
Usage Information:
-
Idexis is used for migraine prevention, not for acute migraine attacks.
-
It may also be prescribed for vertigo and related balance disorders.
-
Full benefits may take a few weeks of continuous use to appear.
-
Treatment duration is often limited to a few months, with breaks to assess necessity.
-
If discontinuation is needed, your doctor may recommend gradual reduction to avoid rebound symptoms.
Precautions:
Before starting Idexis, inform your doctor if you:
-
Have a history of depression, Parkinson’s disease, or other movement disorders.
-
Suffer from liver problems.
-
Are taking other medications, as drug interactions may occur.
Common side effects include:
-
Drowsiness and fatigue
-
Increased appetite and weight gain
-
Mood changes such as depression
-
Rarely, tremors or other movement-related effects, especially with long-term use

Besemax is a medication that combines two active ingredients, paracetamol and orphenadrine citrate. Paracetamol is a commonly used analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer) that helps alleviate mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. Orphenadrine citrate is a muscle relaxant that acts by blocking certain nerve impulses in the brain, which helps relieve muscle spasms and stiffness. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to provide relief from pain, fever, and muscle-related discomfort. Besemax is typically used to treat conditions such as muscle pain, strains, sprains, and tension headaches. However, it's important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare professional before using this medication to ensure its appropriate and safe use.
