Almogran tablets are effective in relieving migraine attacks. Almotriptan is the main ingredient. This medicine is one of many types of "triptan" medicine. All of these medicines can be used to treat migraine headaches.
The exact cause of migraine episodes is still not fully understood. The throbbing sensation is believed to be caused by the swelling of the blood vessels in the brain. Almotriptan, also known as 5HT (serotonin agonist), stimulates the brain's serotonin cells. This drug stimulates these receptors to mimic the activity of serotonin. This causes blood vessels and pain to shrink.
Almotriptan works best when taken immediately after a migraine attack. However, it can also be taken during the episode to provide relief. Triptans will not stop migraines. It is safe to use them with preventative medications like propranolol. Almotriptan can cause tightness in your chest. This side effect usually disappears quickly. If this does not happen, discontinue taking the tablet and notify your doctor.
Migraine headaches are a common problem in the UK, affecting 25% of women and 8% for men. Migraine headaches are thought to be at most partially genetic. This means that you might be more likely to develop the condition if you have a family member who suffers from it. The most severe migraines can cause nausea and throbbing pain, which may make your day very difficult. People often have an increased tolerance to noise, light and smells.
These symptoms can also be relieved by Almotriptan. Around 1 in 4 migraine sufferers experience some type of warning sign or 'aura' before they start experiencing headaches. This could include blurred or distorted sight. Silent migraines are when the aura does not follow an episode. Although migraine episodes last only a few hours, they can last up to three days. You may feel fatigued for several days after a headache subsides.
A migraine attack can be triggered by a variety of factors, such as poor nutrition, stress, alcohol, caffeine, stress, and lack of sleep. Women often suffer migraine attacks during periods.
