STEMI-MD Tablet is a vestibular suppressant, which means it acts on the balance center of the inner ear to reduce vertigo. It blocks H1 receptors to relieve dizziness and also acts as a dopamine antagonist, blocking signals in the brain that cause nausea and vomiting. Additionally, it is believed to influence serotonin (5HT3) and dopamine (D2) receptors, which may explain its beneficial effects in managing migraines and anxiety.
