About Migranil Tablet 10's

Migranil Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medications called 'antimigraine agents' used to prevent migraine symptoms like intense throbbing in one area, headache, nausea and vomiting. Hormonal changes, stress, lack or excess of sleep, bright lights, loud sounds, certain foods and drinks can trigger migraine headaches. 
 
Migranil Tablet 10's contains Ergotamine (alkaloid), Caffeine (methylxanthine), Paracetamol (mild analgesic) and Belladonna (alkaloid).

Together, Migranil Tablet 10's helps treat signs and symptoms of migraine.
