How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (MECLIZINE HYDROCHLORIDE). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

The precise mechanism by which meclizine exerts its therapeutic effect is unknown but is presumed to involve antagonism of the histamine H1 receptor.
