Cafergot (ergotamine
tartrate, caffeine)
is a dual-action medication used as an abortive treatment for
migraine headaches. Some patients also find it effective for
cluster headaches, but many find alternative delivery systems --
injections or nasal sprays -- are more effective for cluster
headache pain.
Cafergot employs both ergotamine and caffeine to constrict blood
vessels in the head, which reduces migraine pain and symptoms,
though the exact mechanism behind migraine headaches is unknown.
Both ingredients also interfere with pain receptors, dulling the
sensation of pain. Together ergotamine and caffeine enhance each
other, though ergotamine is considerably more powerful than
caffeine.
How to Stop a Migraine
An abortive medication stops a headache from fully developing; it
doesn't just mask pain. In order to stop a headache from
developing, it must be administered before the headache gets very
far along. Conversely, it won't prevent a headache from starting in
the first place; there has to be a headache there to
stop.
This means there is a small window of opportunity which is the
ideal time administer Cafergot: Immediately after the first
symptoms begin.
Most migraine sufferers have warning signs that a headache is
coming on; auras, nausea, sensitivity to light or noise, neck pain
and so forth. Unfortunately many cluster headache sufferers do not
have any warning other than severe pain, which may be why the
faster delivery systems of injections or sprays are preferred by so
many.
When warning symptoms are present,
they should be considered the start of a headache, and Cafergot
should be administered as soon as possible:
