Is drug consumption correlated with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) recurrence?

ConclusionSpecific classes of drugs are significantly associated with recurrence: antihypertensive therapy with a singular agent, central nervous system agents, PPIs, vitamin D and thyroid hormones. On the other hand, the lack of correlation between some drugs and recurrence could be linked to the effectiveness of therapy in controlling hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetes. Pharmacological history is an essential tool to identify patients at risk of BPPV recurrence.
