How Caffeine + Ergotamine + Paracetamol/acetaminophen + Prochlorperazine works

  • Caffeine + Ergotamine + Paracetamol/Acetaminophen + Prochlorperazine is a multi-action migraine management medication.

  • Ergotamine, an ergot alkaloid, constricts dilated blood vessels in the head during migraines, thus easing the throbbing pain.

  • Caffeine aids in better absorption of ergotamine and further helps to constrict blood vessels.

  • Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is a pain reliever that inhibits the release of prostaglandins, substances in the brain that can lead to pain.

  • Prochlorperazine is an antiemetic. It prevents feelings of nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine receptors, which are responsible for triggering these symptoms.
