About Almotan 12.5 Tablet 4's

Almotan 12.5 Tablet 4's belongs to a class of drugs known as 'antimigraine' used to prevent migraine symptoms such as headache, nausea, and vomiting. Migraine is a neurological condition characterized by intense pulsating, throbbing, pounding, debilitating headache, which usually occurs on one side of the head; however, it can occur on both sides or shift. Hormonal changes, stress, bright lights, loud sounds, and certain foods and drinks can trigger migraine headaches. 

Almotan 12.5 Tablet 4's contains Zolmitriptan. It works by acting on the serotonin (5-HT) receptors located in the brain, thereby causing the narrowing of the brain's blood vessels, which affects the blood flow patterns associated with headaches. Thus, Almotan 12.5 Tablet 4's helps effectively in treating symptoms of migraine-like headache, nausea and vomiting. 

Take Almotan 12.5 Tablet 4's as prescribed by your doctor. Depending upon your medical condition, you are advised to take Almotan 12.5 Tablet 4's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, nausea, chest discomfort, dry mouth, irregular heartbeats and heartburn.

Do not take Almotan 12.5 Tablet 4's if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed. Almotan 12.5 Tablet 4's should not be taken during the third trimester of pregnancy. Almotan 12.5 Tablet 4's can increase the risk of fatal heart attack or stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration and perforation of the stomach and intestines. Almotan 12.5 Tablet 4's causes drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Almotan 12.5 Tablet 4's should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established.
