PRODUCT class : ANTI-VERTIGO
CEPHADOL TABLET
COMPOSITION: Each tablet contains 25mg of difenidol HCl.
Difenidol is a compound NOT related to the antihistamines, phenothiazines, barbiturates, or other agents with antivertigo or antiemetic action. THERAPEUTIC PROPERTIES: (1) Improvement of circulation in vertebral basilar arteries, Cephadol releases contraction of vertebral basilar arteries shown in the symptom of vertigo to improve the blood stream and keeps the balance of vertebral artery blood stream on both side. As it works selectively against contraction of blood vessel, it would not cause so-called intracerebral steal syndrome and gives almost no effect on the total blood pressure. (2) Blocking effect against vestibular abnormal stimulation: Cephadol blocks abnormal stimulation at the levels of vestibular nucleus and of hypothalamus. The above blocking actions are specific, almost have no influence on the upper central nervous system, being by far different from antihistaminics and sedatives. (3) Suppression of nausea and vomiting at the chemotrigger zone. Cephadol is a potent anti-emetic agent. INDICATION:

ADVERSE REACTIONS: Reduce or pause when thirst, heartburn, mydriasis, palpitation, etc are observed by the administration of the drug. In addition to the above, pay attention to occurences of rash, discomfort feeling, heavy feeling in head and drowsiness. CONTRAINDICATIONS:
