About Almogril 6.25 mg Tablet 10's

Almogril 6.25 mg Tablet 10'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. 

Almogril 6.25 mg Tablet 10'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, Almogril 6.25 mg Tablet 10's helps effectively in treating symptoms of migraine-like headache, nausea and vomiting. 

Take Almogril 6.25 mg Tablet 10's as prescribed by your doctor.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently. 

Do not take Almogril 6.25 mg Tablet 10's if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed. Almogril 6.25 mg Tablet 10's should not be taken during the third trimester of pregnancy. Almogril 6.25 mg Tablet 10's can increase the risk of fatal heart attack or stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration and perforation of the stomach and intestines. Almogril 6.25 mg Tablet 10's causes drowsiness and dizziness, so drive with caution. Almogril 6.25 mg Tablet 10's should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established.
