Vasograin Tablet

What is Vasograin Tablet?

Vasograin Tablet is a combination of four medicines: Paracetamol, Ergotamine, Caffeine and Prochlorperazine. This medicine is used in the treatment of migraine symptoms like a headache, nausea and vomiting. Ergotamine prevents blood vessels in the head from expanding. Caffeine increases the absorption of ergotamine and also narrows the widened blood vessels. Paracetamol blocks the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that causes pain. Prochlorperazine is an antiemetic which prevents vomiting by blocking signals to the part of your brain that cause nausea/vomiting.

What can cause or trigger a migraine attack?

Certain physical or environmental factors, such as foods, hormonal changes, weather and stress can lead to or “trigger” a migraine. However, it is important to remember that triggers can be different for everyone. That is why, to help prevent migraine attacks, you need to figure out which triggers affect you and which ones do not. Keeping a headache diary is an effective way to track triggers, and it will help you talk to your healthcare professional about your condition.
