Sažetak
Pharmacotherapy of vertigo can be symptomatic or specific. There is no ideal drug for the management of vertigo. Acute vertigo is usually managed with vestibular suppressants and antiemetic medications. Anticholinergics, antihistamines, dopaminergic antagonists, and monaminergics are most often used in the treatment of vertigo and associated symptoms. Some other drugs are also used in its treatment. However, vertigo is a subjective feeling which makes it difficult to measure the drug effect. Therefore, many papers dealing with vertigo treatment suffer from methodological pitfalls, making it difficult to establish a generally acceptable consensus about the treatment of vertigo.
