Frequently asked questions
What is NT Grain Tablet?
NT Grain Tablet is a combination of four medicines: Paracetamol, Ergotamine tartrate, Caffeine, and Prochlorperazine. This medicine is used to treat migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Ergotamine tartrate prevents blood vessels in the head from expanding. Caffeine increases the absorption of ergotamine and also narrows the widened blood vessels. Paracetamol blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that cause pain. Prochlorperazine is an antiemetic which prevents vomiting by blocking signals to the part of your brain that causes nausea/vomiting.
