Kipnol Plus 10 Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients that work together to prevent migraines:

• Flunarizine (10 mg): As a selective calcium channel blocker, it prevents calcium from entering blood vessel cells and nerve cells in the brain. This helps stabilise blood vessels in the brain and reduces the over-excitability of nerve cells that can trigger migraines.

• Propranolol (40 mg): This is a non-selective beta-blocker that works by competing with substances that normally stimulate your heart and blood vessels. It reduces heart rate, the force of heart contractions, and blood pressure, which helps prevent the neurovascular inflammatory processes involved in migraine development.

• For migraine prevention, maintain a regular eating schedule and avoid known food triggers such as aged cheese, alcohol, and foods containing MSG (monosodium glutamate, a flavour enhancer).

• Keep a migraine diary to identify and avoid personal triggers such as certain weather changes, strong smells, or bright lights that may set off your migraine attacks.
