A 52-year-old patient is diagnosed with Meniere syndrome. She has experienced several episodes of vertigo
and now has right ear deafness. She has responded well to oral meclizine for the vertigo and to
antiemetics for the associated vomiting. She wants to know if there are ways to avoid having similar
attacks in the future, as this last one was particularly disabling.
Which of the following is not a long-term treatment for Meniere syndrome?
❑ A. Salt restriction
❑ B. The Epley maneuver
❑ C. Diuretics
❑ D. Weight loss
