Medicinal Benefits:

Visgrain Tablet 10's is a combination of four drugs, namely: Ergotamine, caffeine, prochlorperazine, and paracetamol. Visgrain Tablet 10's is indicated to treat and prevent migraine. Ergotamine is an ergot alkaloid that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain and also affects the blood flow patterns associated with headache. Caffeine is a methylxanthine that enhances the vasoconstrictive effect (narrowing of blood vessels). Prochlorperazine is an anti-emetic that prevents nausea and vomiting associated with migraine by modifying the effects of neurotransmitters. Paracetamol is an analgesic that blocks the release of prostaglandins that cause pain. Visgrain Tablet 10's is used to relieve the symptoms at the first sign of a migraine attack and to prevent the worsening of the attack.
