Vasograin Tablet 14's is a combination medicine indicated to treat and prevent migraine. Vasograin Tablet 14's is used to relieve the symptoms at the first sign of a migraine attack and to prevent the worsening of the attack. Migraine is a neurological condition which is characterised by the intense pulsating, throbbing, pounding, debilitating headache which usually occurs on one side of the head; however, it can occur on both sides or shift.
 
Vasograin Tablet 14's is a combination of four drugs, namely: Ergotamine (ergot alkaloid), caffeine (methylxanthine), prochlorperazine (anti-emetic) and paracetamol (analgesic). Ergotamine works by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain, and also affects the blood flow patterns associated with headache. Caffeine enhances the vasoconstrictive effect (narrowing of blood vessels). Prochlorperazine prevents nausea and vomiting associated with migraine by modifying the effects of neurotransmitters. Paracetamol blocks the release of prostaglandins that cause pain.
 
You are advised to take Vasograin Tablet 14's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as stomach upset, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and insomnia (trouble sleeping). 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.
