What is Cafergot
Cafergot is the medication, which is characterized by an ultimately active composition, which includes Ergotamine and Caffeine. While Caffeine belongs to the group of stimulants that narrow blood vessels, Ergotamine is classified as an ergot alkaloid. This component narrows the blood vessels within the brain. Additionally, it interferes with the blood flow, which can sometimes cause severe headaches.
Cafergot is an exclusive drug, which is aimed at treatment of migraine headaches. Keep in mind that the medication can eliminate the signs of the headache, which has already begun. Cafergot will not prevent or decrease the number of headache attacks. The drug is not also approved for treatment of other types of a headache, different from a migraine. However, the remedy can sometimes be administered off-label to treat other disBuys, not listed in the safety guide.
How to use Medicine
Start the medication course with a consultation with your healthcare provider. Inform your doctor about all the disBuys, health complications and other factors, which can contribute to the therapy. Your doctor will adjust an individual dose, based on the specified peculiarities. Follow the instructions and safety directions to achieve the desired effect and avoid complications.
Take Cafergot just like the doctor recommended it. Never administer the medication in higher doses, as the symptoms of migraine headaches can aggravate in such an instance. The remedy is not for everyday use. Instead, it should be administered when-needed to treat the signs of the already started headache. Inform your medical specialist if the medication has stopped working. Do not give Cafergot to other patients, unless your doctor recommends you to.
Precautions and Contraindications
Do not start the medication intake in case you are hypersensitive to its components or similar treatments. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are not approved for the medicine use, as well as patients with severe health disBuys, especially sepsis, liver impairments, kidney disBuys, hypertension, coronary heart disease, blood circulation disBuys and others.
Additionally, it is important to remember about other illnesses and health disBuys, which can promote a considerable influence on Cafergot effects. Provide the medical specialist with detailed information about your current health state and overall peculiarities to guarantee the safety of the treatment course.
Drug Interactions
Apart from the health conditions you have, your doctor should be aware of all the medications you use to treat them. A range of prescription and generic drugs, minerals, supplements, vitamins and other pharmaceuticals can interfere with Cafergot effect, triggering unwanted reactions and devastating health impacts.
Do not combine the drug with any of the following treatments unless your doctor tells otherwise: asthma, allergy or cold medicine, HIV/AIDS pills, blood pressure or heart medications, antidepressants, diet pills, ADHD, antifungals, stimulants, Nicotine, Cyclosporine, and others.
Side effects
Get emergency medical assistance the moment you have noticed any signs of allergic reactions or similar complications after Cafergot use. Stop the drug intake and contact your medical specialist immediately if your health condition gets worse and new symptoms appear, especially urination impairments, dangerously advanced blood pressure, painful sores in the rectum, abnormal heart rate, etc.
