Vertazine was a drug typically administered in a hypospray to remedy dizziness.

Dr. Crusher gave La Forge a dose of vertazine after he experienced an episode of dizziness while working in Main Engineering. (TNG: "Cause and Effect")

"Vertazine" is probably derived from the Latin verb vertere, to turn; the English word "vertigo" shares the same etymology.
