Drugs. 1985 Sep;30(3):275-83. doi: 10.2165/00003495-198530030-00003.

Abstract

Vertigo is not a disease, but a symptom. The management of vertigo requires more than the treatment of the symptom alone, as it concerns the whole physical and psychological condition of the patient. In addition to causal treatment, symptomatic treatment is needed in many cases. This specific treatment consists of vestibular exercises and drug therapy. The efficacy and use of the different drugs available are discussed.
