Description

Cafergot Tablet is a medication containing a combination of Ergotamine & Caffeine. It is primarily used in the treatment of migraines and cluster headaches. Ergotamine works by constricting blood vessels in the head, thereby reducing the pulsation of blood vessels that causes migraines. Caffeine enhances the effects of ergotamine and helps improve its absorption.

Active Ingredients:
  • Ergotamine: Ergotamine is an ergot alkaloid that acts as a vasoconstrictor, narrowing the blood vessels in the brain and relieving migraine symptoms.
  • Caffeine: Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that enhances the effects of ergotamine and helps improve its absorption, leading to faster relief from migraine symptoms.
Uses:

Cafergot Tablet is indicated for the treatment of:

  1. Migraine headaches: It helps alleviate the symptoms of migraine attacks, including headache, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.
  2. Cluster headaches: It can also be used to manage cluster headaches, a type of headache characterized by severe pain around one eye.
Mechanism of Action:

Ergotamine works by activating serotonin receptors and causing vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the brain, which reduces the intensity of migraine headaches. Caffeine acts as an adenosine receptor antagonist, leading to increased levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, which further contributes to vasoconstriction and pain relief.

Administration:

Cafergot Tablet is taken orally, usually at the onset of a migraine attack or cluster headache. The dosage and frequency of administration should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the severity of symptoms and individual patient response. It is important not to exceed the recommended dosage to avoid adverse effects.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Cafergot Tablet may include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Dizziness

  • Tingling or numbness in the extremities
  • Chest pain

Precautions:
  • Cafergot Tablet should not be used in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, liver or kidney impairment, or sepsis.
  • It should not be used concurrently with other ergotamine-containing medications or potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, as this may increase the risk of ergotism (a serious condition caused by ergot poisoning).
  • Cafergot Tablet should be used with caution in pregnant or breastfeeding women and in elderly patients, as they may be more susceptible to its side effects.
Contraindications:
