Combined betahistine dihydrochloride-based therapy improved the performance of scales characterizing the vertigo along with the accompanying symptoms. The effect is comparable to the treatment groups of elderly patients with hypertensive encephalopathy. Vertigo is caused by abnormalities of venous outflow from the cranial cavity due to the increase of arterial pressure, which suggested the use of combined therapy.
