🛒 How to order this item?
Indications
A medication called flunarizine is used to prevent migraines. It only works to prevent migraines for as long as you take the medication; it cannot, however, treat an acute attack. This medication reduces mental tension, thereby preventing migraines.
Pharmacology
Flunarizine is the cinnarizine difluorinated derivative. It is a selective calcium channel antagonist. By lowering excessive calcium transmembrane influx, calcium transmembrane inflow is decreased. Flunarizine prevents cells from having too much calcium. Normal calcium homeostasis in cells is unaffected. Additionally, flunarizine has some sedative and antihistaminic qualities. It has a 99 percent affinity for plasma protein.
Dosage & Administration
Interaction
During the first two months of Flunarizine therapy, a small number of women using oral contraceptives have experienced galactorrhoea. Hepatic enzyme inducers like carbamazepine and phenytoin may interact with flunarizine by speeding up its metabolism. Therefore, an increase in flunarizine dosage might be required.
