Migergot

Ergotamine Tartrate/Caffeine

What is Migergot used for?

This combination medication is used to treat or prevent a certain type of headache (vascular headaches such as migraine headaches and cluster headaches). Ergotamine helps narrow widened blood vessels in the head, which reduces the throbbing effects of vascular headaches. Caffeine increases the effects of ergotamine by also narrowing the widened blood vessels in the head. The suppository form is used when medications cannot be taken by mouth (for example, due to nausea and vomiting).
