General Description

Cafergot is a medication that contains a combination of ergotamine and caffeine. Ergotamine is a vasoconstrictor that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the head to reduce the symptoms of migraine headaches, while caffeine helps to enhance the effects of ergotamine. Cafergot is used to treat or prevent migraine headaches, and it should be taken at the first sign of a headache. It is available in the form of tablets, suppositories, or as a rectal solution, and should be used as directed by a healthcare professional. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or numbness or tingling in the fingers and toes. It is important to follow the dosage and usage instructions carefully to prevent potential overdose or other serious side effects.
