Composition

• Active Ingredient: Flunarizine 5 mg

• Dosage Form: Oral tablet

Therapeutic Class

• Calcium Channel Blocker

• Antimigraine Preparation

Indications

Flurium Tablet 5 mg is indicated for:

• Prophylaxis of migraine with or without aura

• Treatment of vestibular disorders, including vertigo, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting of vestibular origin

• Management of balance disturbances related to inner ear conditions

Pharmacology

Flunarizine acts by inhibiting the excessive influx of calcium ions into neuronal and vascular smooth muscle cells. By stabilizing cerebral blood vessels, it helps prevent the vascular changes associated with migraine attacks. Its antihistaminic effect suppresses vestibular stimulation, thereby reducing symptoms such as vertigo and nausea. Flunarizine also possesses mild sedative properties, which may contribute to symptom control in patients with vestibular dysfunction.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Flurium Tablet 5 mg should be individualized according to the patient’s age, clinical condition, and therapeutic response.

• Migraine prophylaxis: Commonly 5 mg once daily, preferably in the evening

• Vestibular disorders: Dosage may be adjusted based on symptom severity and patient tolerance

Treatment should be reviewed periodically, especially during long-term use, to minimize potential adverse effects.
