Sibelium Description
What is Sibelium?
Sibelium is the brand name for flunarizine. In Australia it is prescribed to prevent migraines and to help with some vertigo symptoms. The usual tablet strength is 5 mg. It is available through licensed pharmacies, including many online services that operate with a doctor’s script.
How Sibelium works
Flunarizine is a calcium channel blocker with antihistamine properties. It helps calm the brain’s blood vessels and stabilise nerve signals. This can lower the frequency of migraine episodes and ease dizziness tied to vertigo. The effect grows over weeks, not days.
How to take Sibelium
Take exactly as your doctor directs. Most adults take one 5 mg tablet at night. Some people start with a lower dose or adjust slowly. Do not chew or crush the tablet. Take it with a full glass of water. Do not stop suddenly without talking to a clinician.
Who should use it
This medicine is for adults and sometimes older teenagers under medical supervision. It is not for pregnant or breastfeeding people. Tell your doctor if you have heart, liver, or mood problems, or if you take other medicines that cause sleepiness. Your doctor will judge the risks and benefits for you.
Side effects and safety
Common side effects include drowsiness, tiredness, weight gain, and dry mouth. You might notice sleep disturbances or stomach upset. Rare but serious effects include mood changes or movement disorders. Avoid alcohol and driving if you feel unusually sleepy.
Missed dose and safety tips
If you miss a night, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double up. If you are unsure, contact your pharmacist. Tell your doctor about any new medicines or supplements you start while on Sibelium.
Interactions and cautions
Flunarizine can interact with sedatives, antidepressants, and some anti-nausea drugs. Always tell your doctor about all medicines you take, including vitamins and herbal products. Your doctor may adjust the dose or suggest a safer alternative if needed.
Online purchase in Australia
In Australia you generally need a valid prescription to buy Sibelium from an online pharmacy. Use a registered, licensed service and keep your doctor’s script handy. The pharmacist can check the dose, discuss side effects, and answer questions. Prices vary by provider.
Storage and handling
Store at room temperature, away from heat and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children. Check the expiry date on the pack before using. Do not share your medicine with others.
Patient review
“I started Sibelium a few months ago for migraine prevention. After a couple of weeks I noticed fewer attacks and less dizziness. Drowsiness was present at first but faded over time. It has become part of my routine with regular checks from my GP.”
Another local perspective
Locally, Australian online pharmacies emphasise pharmacist-supported care. They remind users to confirm the prescription, discuss potential side effects, and follow up with the clinician if migraines persist or worsen. This personalised approach helps with safe use.
