How Satanolon works
The mechanism by which diphenidol exerts its antiemetic and antivertigo effects is not precisely known. It is thought to diminish vestibular stimulation and depress labyrinthine function and as an antimuscarinic agent. An action on the medullary chemoreceptive trigger zone may also be involved in the antiemetic effect. Satanolon has no significant sedative, tranquilizing, or antihistaminic action. It has a weak peripheral anticholinergic effect.
