CONCERNS

For buclizine, meclizine, and cyclizine:

Children -There is no real information comparing use of cyclizine, buclizine, and meclizine in children as compared to other age groups. But we find that children may be especially sensitive to the anticholinergic effects of these medicines, like dryness of nose, mouth, and throat.

Older adults - There is no real information comparing the use of cyclizine, buclizine, and meclizine in older adults with use in other age groups. Not many medicines have been studied specifically in the elderly. It is not known if they work exactly the same as in younger adults. Older people may be especially sensitive to the anticholinergic effects of these medicines, like difficult urination, constipation, and dryness of mouth, nose, and throat.

Allergies - Inform your physician if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to buclizine, meclizine, or cyclizine. Also inform them if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, dyes or preservatives.

Antivert Drug Interactions - There are some medicines that should never be used together. There are other cases where two medicines used together will have an interaction. It may still be safe to use both, but your doctor may need to change the doses or take other precautions.

If taking cyclizine, buclizine, or meclizine, it is especially important that your doctor know if you are taking the following:

• central nervous system depressants (CNS)
• other medicines that make you drowsy or less alert
• Tricyclic antidepressants - used with buclizine, cyclizine, or meclizine may increase side effects of either.

ANTIVERT and PREGNANCY

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Studies have not proven that these medicines cause birth defects or other problems in humans. However, research using animals has shown that buclizine, cyclizine, and meclizine given in large doses, many times the usual human dose, can cause birth defects like cleft palate.

ANTIVERT and BREAST FEEDING

Tell your doctor if you are breast feeding. These medicines may pass into breast milk, but they have not been shown to cause problems in nursing babies. However, these medicines tend to decrease the secretions of the body. It is possible that the flow of breast milk may be decreased in some patients.
