Diamox (acetazolamide) is a diuretic that can help decrease edema in the labyrinth of the ear, making it a useful medication for treatment of peripheral vestibular disease. Meclizine, diphenhydramine, and promethazine are all medications used to treat symptoms of dizziness and vertigo, but do not specifically target the underlying cause of the edema in the ear.
