In this Paper we studied the clinical effects of long-term urea medication in patients with Meniere's disease. The subjects were 32 patients with Meniere's disease whose main symptoms were recurrent vertigo, deafness, tinnitus and aural pressuresensation.<BR>Urea (1020 g) was given orally before breakfast twice a week at the start of the therapy, then once a week as the clinical symptoms stabilized.<BR>The patients were followed for 12 months. In accordance with the 1972 criteria of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, 23% had class A, 61% class B, 6% class C, and 13% class D results.<BR>Vertigo was well controlled in 90% of cases, but tinnitus persisted intermittently in many patients.<BR>There was no appreciable side effects.
