Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2015612

Cinnarizine is a piperazine derivative with antihistaminic, antiserotonergic, antidopaminergic, and calcium channel-blocking activities. It inhibits calcium translocation across the vestibular sensory cells in the ampullae and maintains endolymph flow by preventing constriction of the stria vascularis. It is currently used for the treatment of nausea, vomiting, and vertigo caused by Meniere’s disease and other vestibular disorders. Cinnarizine is also used for prevention and treatment of motion sickness. Chronic use of cinnarizine may induce extrapyramidal symptoms.
