Medication for motion sickness or vertigo
Pharmaceutical compound
Cyclizine , sold under a number of brand names, is a medication used to treat and preventnausea ,vomiting anddizziness due tomotion sickness orvertigo .[ 2] It may also be used for nausea aftergeneral anaesthesia or that which developed fromopioid use.[ 2] [ 3] It is takenby mouth , in therectum , orinjected into a vein .[ 3] [ 4]
Common side effects include sleepiness, dry mouth,constipation , and trouble with vision.[ 5] More serious side effects includelow blood pressure andurinary retention .[ 5] It is not generally recommended in young children or those withglaucoma .[ 2] [ 6] Cyclizine appears to be safe duringpregnancy but has not been well studied.[ 7] It is in theanticholinergic andantihistamine family of medications.[ 3] [ 6]
Cyclizine was discovered in 1947.[ 8] It is on theWorld Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines .[ 9] In the United States it is availableover the counter .[ 6]
Primary uses includenausea ,vomiting anddizziness associated withmotion sickness ,vertigo and post-operatively following administration ofgeneral anesthesia andopioids . It is sometimes given inhyperemesis gravidarum , although the manufacturer advises that it be avoided in pregnancy. Off-license use often occurs with specialists in hospitals to treat inpatients who have become severely dehydrated in pregnancy. An off-label use is as an opioid/opiate potentiator.[ 10]
The drug Diconal is a combination of cyclizine and the opioiddipipanone .[ 11] Dipipanone is aschedule I controlled substance in the US.[ 12]
Its antimuscarinic action warrants caution in patients withprostatic hypertrophy , urinary retention, or angle-closureglaucoma . Liver disease exacerbates itssedative effects.[ 10]
Common (over 10%) —Drowsiness ,dry mouth .
Uncommon (1% to 10%) — Headache, psychomotor impairment, dermatitis, andantimuscarinic effects such as diplopia (double vision),tachycardia ,constipation ,urinary retention and gastro-intestinal disturbances.
Rare (less than 1%) — Hypersensitivity reactions (bronchospasm ,angioedema ,anaphylaxis , rashes andphotosensitivity reactions),extrapyramidal effects, dizziness, confusion, depression, sleep disturbances,tremor , liver dysfunction, andhallucinations .
Cyclizine is apiperazine derivative with histamine H1 -receptor antagonist (antihistamine ) activity. The precise mechanism of action in inhibiting the symptoms of motion sickness is not well understood. It may have effects directly on thevestibular system and on thechemoreceptor trigger zone . Cyclizine exerts a centralanticholinergic (antimuscarinic ) action.[ 10]
Cyclizine may be prepared by theEschweiler–Clarke methylation ofdiphenylmethylpiperazine or by reaction of benzhydryl bromide with1-methylpiperazine in acetonitrile to form the hydrobromide salt of the drug.
Cyclizine was developed in the American division of pharmacy companyBurroughs Wellcome (todayGlaxoSmithKline ) during a research study involving many drugs of the antihistamine group. Cyclizine was quickly clinically found as a potent and long-acting antiemetic. The company named the substance – or more precisely cyclizine'shydrochloride form which it usually appears in – "marezine hydrochloride" and started to sell it in the United States under trade nameMarezine . Selling was begun inFrance under trade nameMarzine in 1965.[ 13] [ 14]
The substance received more credit whenNASA chose it as a space antiemetic for thefirst crewed Moon flight . Cyclizine was introduced to many countries as a common antiemetic. It is an over-the-counter drug in many countries because it has been well tolerated, although it has not been studied much.[ 13] [ 15]
Society and culture [ edit ] Some people using methadone recreationally combine cyclizine with theirmethadone dose, a combination that is known to produce strongpsychoactive effects.[ 16] It has also been used recreationally for itsanticholinergic effects to induce hallucinations.[ 17]
It has been used illegally ingreyhound racing to sabotage a dog's performance.[ 18]
As cyclizine hydrochloride tablets and cyclizine lactate solution for intramuscular or intravenous injection (brand names: Valoid[ 10] in UK and South Africa and Marezine, Marzine and Emoquil in US). Cyclizine was marketed as Bonine for Kids in the US, but was discontinued in 2012, and replaced with meclizine.[ 19]
