Vasograin Tablet (Caffeine 100mg / Ergotamine 1mg / Paracetamol 250mg)

Vasograin Tablet 14’s is a combination medicine indicated to treat and prevent migraine. Vasograin Tablet 14’s 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 which is characterised by the intense pulsating, throbbing, pounding, debilitating headache which usually occurs on one side of the head; however, it can occur on both sides or shift.

Vasograin Tablet 14’s is a combination of four drugs, namely: Ergotamine (ergot alkaloid), caffeine (methylxanthine), prochlorperazine (anti-emetic) and paracetamol (analgesic). Ergotamine works by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain, and also affects the blood flow patterns associated with headache. Caffeine enhances the vasoconstrictive effect (narrowing of blood vessels). Prochlorperazine prevents nausea and vomiting associated with migraine by modifying the effects of neurotransmitters. Paracetamol blocks the release of prostaglandins that cause pain.
