What is Dihydroergotamine Mesylate and how does it work?
Dihydroergotamine Mesylate is a prescription medication designed to treat the acute pain of migraine headaches. Migraine pain is associated with the dilation (widening) of blood vessels in the brain. This medication acts by constricting those blood vessels, thereby alleviating pain. It is most effective when used at the first sign of a migraine attack. It is important to note that this drug is intended for symptom relief and does not prevent future migraines. It is administered as a nasal spray or injection and is not recommended for certain types of migraines, such as basilar or hemiplegic migraines. Always use this medication under the guidance of your doctor.
What are the possible side effects of Dihydroergotamine Mesylate?
Common side effects of Dihydroergotamine Mesylate can include nausea, nosebleeds, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, cold sweats, muscle pain, stomach cramps, and chest pain. Some people may experience mood changes like anxiety or depression. A serious but less common side effect is a dangerous increase in blood pressure. Allergic reactions, though rare, can manifest as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. This is not an exhaustive list. Discuss any concerns about side effects with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
