What are Cafergot tablets used for?

Cafergot (Ergotamine Tartrate-Caffeine)

Cafergot medicine is a combination of two medicines, ergotamine and caffeine. It is used in the treatment of vascular headaches including migraine and cluster headaches. It should not be used for tension headaches. Ergotamine belongs to the group called ergot alkaloids. Being an alpha-adrenergic blocker, it has a stimulating effect on peripheral and cranial blood vessels resulting in vasoconstriction.

Caffeine is also a cranial vasoconstrictor, which enhances the vasoconstrictive effect without the need of increasing the dose of ergotamine. As migraine and like headaches are thought to be caused by dilatation of blood vessels in the head, you can buy Cafergot medicine since its vasoconstrictive effect helps in its treatment.

At Canada Pharmacy, you can find Ergotamine Tartrate for purchase. Order yours now and enjoy a genuine product.

Directions

Cafergot is to be taken as prescribed by your doctor. It is taken by mouth with or without food. Usually, 2 tablets are taken at the first signs of a headache. Then 1 tablet is followed after every 30 minutes until the headache is relieved. But be careful, do not take more than 6 tablets per headache attack or take 10 tablets over a 7-day period.

To prevent migraine or cluster headaches, your doctor can prescribe this medication for 2-3 weeks. But be certain to follow your doctor’s dosage as prescribed.

Do not use this medication to treat tension headaches or any other kind of headache that does not resemble migraine.
