Flunarizine 5mg Tablets
SKU GME202Product Introduction
Flunarizine 5mg is used for prevention of migraine. It does not treat a migraine attack that has already started, and it works only when taken regularly as advised. Flunarizine acts on calcium channels and helps reduce abnormal nerve and blood-vessel activity linked with migraine attacks. It may take several weeks to show full benefit, so response is usually judged after regular use and tracking migraine frequency. Common concerns include sleepiness, tiredness, weight gain, increased appetite, low mood, and movement-related symptoms in sensitive patients.
How to use
Take Flunarizine 5mg at the dose and time advised by the doctor, often at night because it can cause sleepiness. Do not use extra tablets for an active migraine attack.
