title: Effects of isosorbide in patients with Menière's disease.
abstract: The effects of isosorbide on vertigo, disability, hearing loss and tinnitus in 32 patients with Menière's disease were evaluated after a 24-month observation period. Vestibular symptoms in 80% of patients were assessed as improved according to the 1985 AAO-HNS post-treatment reporting criteria. In contrast, the effect of this osmotic diuretic on cochlear symptoms was limited.
