Cafergot Prescription
Cafergot is prescribed for the relief or prevention of vascular headaches:
- Cluster headaches;
- Migraine variants;
- Migraine;
The excessive use of Cafergot can lead to ergot poisoning resulting in symptoms such as:
- Abnormal paleness of the fingers and toes;
- Coldness;
- Headache;
- Muscle pain;
- Numbness;
- Pain in the legs when walking;
If this condition is not treated, Cafergot can lead to gangrene (tissue death due to decreased blood supply).
Cafergot is available in both tablet and suppository form. Be sure to take it exactly as prescribed, remaining within
the limits of your recommended dosage.
Cafergot works best if you use it at the first sign of a migraine attack. If you get warning signals of a coming migraine,
take the drug before the headache actually starts.
Lie down and relax in a quiet, dark room for at least a couple of hours or until you feel better.
Avoid exposure to cold.
To use the suppositories, follow these steps:
1. If the suppository feels too soft, leave it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or put it, still wrapped, in ice
water until it hardens.
2. Remove the foil wrapper and dip the tip of the suppository in water.
3. Lie down on your side and with a finger insert the suppository into the rectum. Hold it in place for a few moments.
Cafergot contains two active ingredients, ergotamine tartrate and caffeine. Ergotamine is a type of drug
called an ergot alkaloid. Cafergot is prescribed in the treatment of migraines.
Although the cause of migraine attacks is not fully understood, it is thought that the widening of blood vessels in the
brain causes the pain associated with migraine attacks. Cafergot is also believed that a chemical called serotonin is released in
the brain at the beginning of an attack. Serotonin causes the release of other chemicals that cause blood vessels in the brain
to widen.
Serotonin itself causes blood vessels in the brain to narrow. Ergotamine is thought to work in part by acting on serotonin
receptors in the brain, causing the blood vessels to narrow. It also acts on other types of receptors found on the walls of
blood vessels, called alpha receptors. This also causes the blood vessels to narrow.
Overall, by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain ergotamine relieves the pain of migraine headaches. Caffeine is also
included in Cafergot to enhance the effect of ergotamine.
