Acetylleucine

Acetylleucine is a drug used in the treatment of vertigo and other balance disorders. It is a derivative of the amino acid leucine and is marketed under the brand name Tanganil.

Pharmacology

Acetylleucine works by enhancing the recovery of vestibular function following damage, such as that caused by vestibular neuritis or Meniere's disease. It is thought to do this by promoting the reorganization of the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for balance and coordination.

Medical uses

Acetylleucine is used in the treatment of vertigo and other balance disorders. It can help to reduce the symptoms of these conditions, such as dizziness and unsteadiness, and improve the patient's quality of life.

Side effects

The most common side effects of acetylleucine are nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These are usually mild and go away on their own. If they persist or become severe, the patient should contact their doctor.
