Frequently asked questions
What is Mygrain Tablet?
Mygrain Tablet contains a combination of paracetamol, ergotamine tartrate, caffeine citrate, and prochlorperazine. It's used to treat migraine headaches, including nausea and vomiting associated with migraines. Ergotamine reduces blood vessel widening in the head. Caffeine increases ergotamine absorption and also narrows the widened blood vessels. Paracetamol blocks chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain. Prochlorperazine is an antiemetic which prevents vomiting by blocking signals to the part of the brain that causes nausea/vomiting.
