MOSEGOR SYRUP V 60ML

MOSEGOR SYRUP V 60ML contains the active ingredient Pizotifen. It is formulated as an oral syrup used for the prevention of migraine headaches and the treatment of certain types of allergies. Pizotifen is a serotonin antagonist and histamine inhibitor that helps to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks and alleviate symptoms associated with allergies.

Uses:

MOSEGOR SYRUP V 60ML is prescribed for the following purposes:

1. Migraine Prophylaxis: It is used to prevent migraine headaches in individuals who experience frequent or debilitating migraine attacks. Pizotifen helps to reduce the frequency, duration, and intensity of migraine episodes by stabilizing blood vessels in the brain and modulating neurotransmitter levels.
2. Allergic Conditions: Pizotifen may also be used in the treatment of certain allergic conditions, such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever) or urticaria (hives), to relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and skin rash.

Side Effects:

While MOSEGOR SYRUP V 60ML is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

1. Drowsiness: Common side effects may include drowsiness, sedation, fatigue, or dizziness. These effects are usually mild and transient, particularly when starting treatment or when the dosage is adjusted.
2. Weight Gain: Pizotifen may cause weight gain or increased appetite in some individuals, particularly with long-term use.
3. Dry Mouth: Some individuals may experience dry mouth or thirst while taking Pizotifen syrup.
4. Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Rarely, gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation may occur.
5. Serotonin Syndrome: In rare cases, Pizotifen may increase serotonin levels excessively, leading to a potentially life-threatening condition known as serotonin syndrome. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as agitation, hallucinations, fever, sweating, fast heart rate, or muscle stiffness.

Before using MOSEGOR SYRUP V 60ML, consider the following precautions:
