    got this off the web

    What is prochlorperazine maleate?

    Prochlorperazine maleate is the active substance in Buccastem used in the symptomatic treatment of vertigo due to Meniere's Disease, Labyrinthitis and other causes. For nausea and vomiting from whatever cause

    I would have thought that the packaging would tell you

    the main thing here though is if they work and hopefully they will sort your problem out if not go back to the doctors

    I used to get ear infections all the time. Mainly to blame was a broken ear drum. An operation fixed this when I was 13 and in the last ten years, I've only had one infection.

    In my case, the doctor prescribed ear drops which I put in my ear before bedtime and stick cotten wool on the ear to stop the drops coming out. An ear infection lasts about a week.
