Domperidone + Flunarizine + Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is a prophylactic combination intended for managing migraines.
Domperidone is an anti-nausea medicine that works by opposing dopamine receptors in the stomach and intestines, reducing feelings of nausea and vomiting. It also helps to speed up the process of emptying the stomach.
Flunarizine is a calcium channel blocker. It functions by preventing changes in blood vessels in the brain and inhibiting processes that can lead to inflammation in these vessels. As a result, it helps to prevent migraines.
Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is an analgesic and antipyretic medicine. It reduces pain and fever by blocking the production of prostaglandins in the brain, which are responsible for these symptoms.
Together, these medicines help to prevent migraines and other associated symptoms such as headaches, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound when taken regularly.
