CAFERGOT
ERGOTAMINE TARTRATE 1 MG AND CAFFEINE 100 MG TABLETS
WHAT IS IN THIS LEAFLET
Please read this leaflet carefully before you start taking Cafergot.
This leaflet answers some common questions about Cafergot tablets
It does not contain all the available information. It does not take
the place of talking to
your doctor or pharmacist.
All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the
risks of you
using Cafergot against the benefits it can provide.
IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT CAFERGOT, ASK YOUR DOCTOR OR
PHARMACIST. KEEP THIS
LEAFLET WITH THE MEDICINE. You may need to read it again.
WHAT CAFERGOT IS USED FOR
CAFERGOT IS USED TO TREAT ATTACKS OF MIGRAINE WITH OR WITHOUT AURA.
These headaches are thought to be caused by temporary changes in the
size of small
blood vessels in the brain. These blood vessels swell, causing the
pain and visual
disturbances that often happen during an attack. Cafergot stops the
attack by causing
the blood vessels to constrict (shrink) back to normal size.
Cafergot is only taken to treat migraine attacks. It is not taken to
prevent attacks from
happening.
There are some types of headaches which must not be treated with
Cafergot. Your
doctor will determine the best treatment for your headache.
Cafergot tablets contain the active ingredients, ergotamine tartrate
and caffeine.
Ergotamine belongs to a group of medicines known as the "ergot
alkaloids." Caffeine
helps ergotamine work better and faster by increasing its absorption
into the body.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY CAFERGOT HAS BEEN
PRESCRIBED
FOR YOU.
Your doctor may have prescribed Cafergot for another reason.
Cafergot is only available with a doctor's prescription.
There is not enough information to recommend this medicine for
children under 6 years
of age.
