How Does It Work?
- Migraine is thought to occur due to an abnormal brain activity temporarily affecting nerve signals, chemicals and blood vessels in the brain.
- Ergotamine works by preventing blood vessels in the head from expanding and causing headaches.
- Caffeine increases the absorption of ergotamine in the brain and also enhances the vasoconstrictive effect of ergotamine and thus, helps in narrowing the blood vessels in the brain.
- Prochlorperazine acts as an anti-emetic that prevents nausea and vomiting associated with migraines by blocking the signals in the specific part of the brain that is responsible for nausea or vomiting. ...
- Paracetamol works by interfering with the production of a chemical called prostaglandins, which is responsible for the sensation of pain.
