Product Details

About this item

Cafergot is a potent combination therapy trusted for decades to manage acute vascular headaches. Unlike daily preventative medications, Cafergot is designed for "abortive" therapy—meaning it is taken at the first sign of a migraine attack to stop it in its tracks. By combining the vasoconstrictive properties of Ergotamine with the absorption-enhancing power of Caffeine, it effectively narrows widened blood vessels in the brain that cause intense throbbing pain.



How to Use

Dosage

  • General Rule: Take 2 tablets at the very first sign of a headache.
  • Follow-up: If the headache persists, take 1 tablet every 30 minutes.
  • Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 6 tablets per attack or 10 tablets in a 7-day period.
  • Administration: Swallow whole with water; do not crush.

How to Store and Dispose

Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children. Do not flush unused tablets; return them to a pharmacist for safe disposal.

Quick Tips

  • Timing is Everything: Take it during the "aura" or at the first throb for 100% effectiveness.
  • Rest: After taking a dose, lie down in a dark, quiet room to help the medicine work.
  • Avoid Smoking: Nicotine constricts vessels further and increases the risk of side effects.
  • Keep a Diary: Track triggers (chocolate, red wine) to use alongside your medication.
  • Nausea Management: If the medication causes vomiting, ask your pharmacist about an anti-nauseant.


Pharmacist's Advice

Contraindications

Do NOT take Cafergot if you have:

  • Circulatory Issues: Peripheral vascular disease, coronary heart disease, or hypertension.
  • Organ Impairment: Severe liver or kidney disease.
  • Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Category X. It can cause fetal harm or miscarriage and passes into breast milk.
  • Sepsis: Severe systemic infections.

Side Effects

  • Common: Nausea, vomiting (due to ergotamine), dizziness, and abdominal pain.
  • Serious (Rare): "Ergotism" (numbness/tingling in fingers/toes), chest pain, or muscle weakness.
  • Action: If you feel coldness or tingling in your extremities, stop use and see a doctor immediately.

Precautions and Warnings

  • Doctor Consultation: Ensure your doctor has confirmed your headache is a migraine.
  • Overuse: Do not use more than 10 tablets per week to avoid "rebound headaches."
  • Drug Interactions: Avoid taking with certain antibiotics (Erythromycin) or antifungal meds, as they can lead to dangerous ergot toxicity.


Specifications

  • Pack Size: 30 Tablets (3 Blisters of 10).
  • Strength: 1mg Ergotamine / 100mg Caffeine.
