Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/68003501

Cyclizine (cyclizine hydrochloride, Valoid®) is a histamine H1 antagonist of the piperazine class which is characterised by a low incidence of drowsiness. It possesses anticholinergic and antiemetic properties. The exact mechanism by which cyclizin (cyclizine hydrochloride, Valoid®) can prevent or suppress both nausea and vomiting from various causes is unknown. It increases lower oesophageal sphincter tone and reduces the sensitivity of the labyrinthine apparatus. It may inhibit the part of the midbrain known collectively as the emetic centre.

VALOID

Approved Use

Valoid is indicated for the prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting including: • Motion sickness. • Nausea and vomiting caused by narcotic analgesics and by general anaesthetics in the post-operative period. • Vomiting associated with radiotherapy, especially for breast cancer since cyclizine does not elevate prolactin levels. Valoid may be of value in relieving vomiting and attacks of vertigo associated with Meniere's disease and other forms of vestibular disturbance.
