Now lets discuss
Mechanism of Action
Meclizine is a first-generation antihistamine (non-selective H1 antagonist). It also has central anticholinergic actions.
The blocking actions on these receptors give meclizine its antiemetic and antivertigo properties. This blocking effect occurs in the vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) located in the medulla.
These effects result in the inhibition of signals through histamine neurotransmission from the nucleus of the solitary tract and the vestibular nuclei to the chemoreceptor trigger zone and vomiting center located in the medulla.
This effect also reduces vestibular incitation and labyrinth excitability.
