How Paracetamol/acetaminophen + Prochlorperazine works

  • Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is an analgesic and an antipyretic. It is believed to work by blocking the release of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and fever. It is involved in stopping the production of substances called prostaglandins in the central nervous system, which play a key role in transmitting pain signals to the brain.

  • Prochlorperazine is a type of medicine known as phenothiazine, which acts as an antiemetic. It combats nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine receptors in the area of the brain that triggers these symptoms during a migraine attack.

  • Working together, these two components help control acute migraine symptoms by not only reducing the pain but also managing associated symptoms such as nausea and/or vomiting.
