Antihistamines for long time have been used for treatment of vertigo due to diseases of the vestibular system. These antihistamines have excellent efficacy but because of their side effects have had limited chronic use. Loratidine, non-sedating antihistamine has been shown to effectively reduce dizziness in our study of 10 patients with Meniere's desease and 10 patients with vestibulopathies.
