Migraneck Tablet is a combination medicine indicated to treat and prevent migraine. Migraneck Tablet is used to relieve the symptoms at the first sign of a migraine attack and to prevent the worsening of the attack. Migraine is a neurological condition that is characterized by an intense pulsating, throbbing, pounding, debilitating headache which usually occurs on one side of the head; however, it can occur on both sides or shift.
Migraneck Tablet is a combination of four drugs, namely: Ergotamine tartrate (ergot alkaloid), caffeine (methylxanthine), prochlorperazine maleate (anti-emetic) and paracetamol (analgesic). Ergotamine tartrate works by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain and affects the blood flow patterns associated with headaches. Caffeine enhances the vasoconstrictive effect (narrowing of blood vessels). Prochlorperazine maleate prevents nausea and vomiting associated with migraine by modifying the effects of neurotransmitters. Paracetamol blocks the release of prostaglandins that cause pain.
