Pizofen TS 1.5 is used to prevent migraine attacks. It is not effective for treating an ongoing or acute migraine attack. Its preventive benefit continues only while the medicine is taken regularly.
Pizofen TS 1.5 contains pizotifen, a serotonin antagonist with antihistamine and weak antimuscarinic properties. It helps prevent migraine by blocking the effects of serotonin and tryptamine, reducing the changes in blood vessel tone associated with migraine headaches.
- Pizofen TS 1.5 is intended for migraine prevention, not for stopping an acute migraine attack.
- Taking it at bedtime may help minimize problems caused by drowsiness.
- Monitor your body weight, as increased appetite and weight gain may occur.
- Maintain a healthy diet and regular physical activity to help control weight.
- Avoid alcohol and be cautious with other medicines that cause sleepiness.
- Do not discontinue the medicine abruptly without medical advice.
