Generic Stugeron Information

Introduction

Stugeron is a medication containing the antihistamine cinnarizine, classified within the motion‑sickness group. It is primarily used to prevent and relieve symptoms of motion‑induced nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. In Hong Kong, Stugeron is available through licensed pharmacies and can be obtained from our online pharmacy, which sources the product from reputable overseas suppliers to ensure quality and affordability. Secondary uses reported in clinical practice include treatment of vestibular vertigo and certain peripheral vascular disorders, although these indications are off‑label in Hong Kong.

What is Stugeron?

Stugeron is a tablet formulation that delivers the active compound cinnarizine. The product was developed by pharmaceutical companies specializing in antihistamine agents and is marketed worldwide under several brand names, including Cinnariz and Stugeron. In Hong Kong the medication is regulated by the Department of Health and must comply with local drug safety standards. While Stugeron is a brand name, the same molecule is offered as generic cinnarizine by multiple manufacturers; our online pharmacy provides the same therapeutic ingredient at a lower cost.

How Stugeron Works

Cinnarizine exerts its therapeutic effect through two complementary mechanisms:

• Histamine‑H1 receptor antagonism – By blocking H1 receptors in the vestibular nuclei and the gastrointestinal tract, cinnarizine reduces the sensory input that triggers nausea and vomiting during motion.
• Voltage‑gated calcium‑channel blockade – The drug inhibits L‑type calcium channels in inner‑ear hair cells and vascular smooth muscle, dampening abnormal vestibular firing and improving microcirculation in the peripheral vessels.

These actions begin within 30–60 minutes after oral intake, peak at about 2 hours, and persist for 6–8 hours, providing coverage for typical travel periods. The drug is metabolized in the liver (CYP2D6) and excreted mainly via the urine.

Conditions Treated with Stugeron

• Motion‑sickness prophylaxis – Prevents nausea, vomiting, and dizziness associated with car, sea, or air travel. In a Hong Kong cohort of frequent commuters, cinnarizine reduced reported motion‑sickness incidence by roughly 70 % compared with placebo.
• Vertiginous disorders – Used off‑label for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and Ménière’s disease, where vestibular hyperexcitability contributes to attacks. Small randomized trials have shown modest symptom relief.
• Peripheral vascular insufficiency – Cinnarizine’s calcium‑channel blocking activity improves capillary blood flow in conditions such as Raynaud’s phenomenon; however, this use remains investigational in Hong Kong.

Who is Stugeron For?

Stugeron is suitable for adults who experience motion‑induced discomfort or have vestibular vertigo that interferes with daily activities. Typical candidates include:

• Travelers on long‑duration journeys (air, sea, road) who have previously experienced motion‑sickness.
• Individuals with recurrent vertigo episodes linked to vestibular dysfunction, where antihistamine therapy is part of a broader management plan.

Contraindications or cautionary situations include:

• Known hypersensitivity to cinnarizine or any tablet excipients.
• Severe hepatic impairment, because metabolism is hepatic.
• Patients on concurrent medications that strongly inhibit CYP2D6 (e.g., fluoxetine, paroxetine), which may raise cinnarizine plasma levels.

Risks, Side Effects, and Interactions

Common

• Drowsiness or mild sedation.
• Dry mouth and slight gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Headache, especially during the first few days of therapy.

Rare

• Extrapyramidal symptoms (e.g., tremor, rigidity) reported in elderly patients after prolonged use.
• Elevated liver enzymes (ALT/AST) in individuals with pre‑existing hepatic disease.

Serious

• Severe hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, angioedema, or anaphylaxis.
• Extrapyramidal syndrome progressing to drug‑induced Parkinsonism with long‑term high‑dose use.
• Cardiac conduction abnormalities in patients with underlying arrhythmias, due to calcium‑channel effects.

Drug‑Drug Interactions

• CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine, quinidine) may increase cinnarizine exposure; dose adjustment or monitoring is advised.
• Central nervous system depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, alcohol) can potentiate sedation.
• Anticholinergic agents may exacerbate dry mouth and constipation.

Patients should disclose all medications, including over‑the‑counter products, to their prescriber before starting Stugeron.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

• Standard adult dosing for motion‑sickness prevention: 25 mg (one tablet) taken 30 minutes before travel, then a second tablet after 8 hours if the journey continues. The total daily dose should not exceed 75 mg.
• For vertigo: 25 mg three times daily, usually for a limited course of 2–4 weeks, under medical supervision.

Missed dose – If a dose is missed and travel is still ongoing, take the tablet as soon as remembered, provided at least 4 hours have not elapsed since the previous dose. Do not double‑dose to compensate.

Overdose – Ingestion of more than 150 mg in a 24‑hour period may cause marked drowsiness, hypotension, or cardiac arrhythmia. Seek emergency medical attention promptly. Supportive care includes monitoring vitals, gastric lavage if within 1 hour, and symptomatic treatment.

Practical precautions

• Take the tablet with a light snack; a full‑fat meal can delay absorption.
• Avoid alcohol** because combined central depressant effects increase drowsiness.
• Patients with chronic liver disease should have liver function checked before initiating therapy.

FAQ

• Can Stugeron be taken with other antihistamines?
  Combining two H1‑blocking agents can increase the risk of excessive sedation and dry mouth. While occasional overlap is unlikely to cause serious harm, it is generally advisable to avoid simultaneous use unless directed by a healthcare professional.

• What is the best way to store Stugeron tablets in Hong Kong’s humid climate?
  Store the tablets in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. A desiccant packet placed in the bottle can further protect against humidity typical of subtropical environments.

• Does Stugeron have the same formulation in Europe and Asia?
  The active ingredient, cinnarizine, is consistent worldwide, but excipients such as lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, or magnesium stearate may vary between manufacturers. These differences rarely affect efficacy but can be relevant for patients with specific excipient allergies.

• Is Stugeron detected in standard drug‑screening tests?
  Cinnarizine is not part of routine occupational or forensic drug screens. However, specialized assays can identify it if specifically requested, though such testing is uncommon.

• Can pregnant women use Stugeron safely?
  Animal studies have not shown teratogenic effects, but human data are limited. In Hong Kong, Stugeron is classified as a Category C medication, meaning it should be used only if the potential benefit outweighs any possible risk to the fetus, and preferably under obstetric guidance.

• How does the onset of action differ between taking Stugeron before travel versus after motion‑sickness has started?
  When taken 30 minutes prior to travel, therapeutic levels are achieved before vestibular stimulation, providing optimal prophylaxis. If taken after symptoms have begun, relief may be delayed by up to an hour as the drug reaches effective plasma concentrations.

• Are there any known differences in efficacy of Stugeron among different ethnic groups?
  Pharmacokinetic studies suggest that Asian populations may have slightly higher plasma concentrations due to lower average CYP2D6 activity, potentially increasing both efficacy and the likelihood of side effects. Dose adjustments are rarely needed but close monitoring is prudent.

• What should I do if I accidentally drop a Stugeron tablet into water?
  Dissolving the tablet does not alter its chemical stability, but it may affect taste and absorption rate. If it occurs accidentally, discard the compromised tablet and take a new one with a glass of water to ensure a reliable dose.

• Can Stugeron be used for children or adolescents?
  The safety and efficacy of cinnarizine in individuals younger than 18 years have not been fully established in Hong Kong. Pediatric use is generally avoided unless prescribed by a specialist with careful dose titration.

• Does Stugeron interact with common supplements such as vitamin D or magnesium?
  No clinically significant interactions have been documented between cinnarizine and standard dietary supplements. Nevertheless, large doses of magnesium may have a mild laxative effect, which could compound the constipation sometimes seen with antihistamines.

• What packaging options are available when ordering Stugeron from our online pharmacy?
  The medication is supplied in OEM‑blister packs of 10 tablets each, sealed within an outer cardboard box. Each shipment includes a printed insert with dosage instructions and safety information in both English and Traditional Chinese.

• Is personal import of Stugeron into Hong Kong legal for a single individual?
  Yes. Hong Kong permits personal import of up to 30 days’ supply of prescription‑only medicines for personal use, provided the recipient does not intend to sell or distribute the product. Importers must retain a copy of the prescription and a receipt from the overseas supplier.
