Cafergot (ergotamine) tabs
Cafergot is a medication that contains a combination of ergotamine and caffeine. It is commonly used to treat migraines and cluster headaches. Ergotamine works by constricting blood vessels in the head, which helps to alleviate the throbbing pain associated with these types of headaches. Caffeine helps to enhance the effects of ergotamine and can also help to improve alertness.
Indication:
Cafergot is indicated for the treatment of acute migraine attacks with or without aura. It is also used for the treatment of cluster headaches.
Dosage:
The usual dosage of Cafergot is 1 to 2 tablets at the onset of a migraine attack. If needed, an additional tablet can be taken after 30 minutes. The maximum dose should not exceed 6 tablets in a 24-hour period.
It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider and not exceed the recommended dose to avoid potential side effects. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Cafergot, please consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
