Now, I'm not a doctor, nor do I even play one on TV, buuuuut.....

Number One: I think he/she must have meant "cerebral" instead of cerebrar....to do with the brain?

Number Two: arthrosis, says the dictionary, is "a degenerative disease of a joint" (Brain=joint?)

Number Three: The medication, which is called cinnarizine in English, is classified as an antiemetic, which stops nausea and vomiting.

More info on the drug here.

Nothing seems to add up - was that a prescription or what?
