INDICATIONS

Cafergot is indicated as therapy to abort or prevent vascular headache, e.g., migraine, migraine variants, or so-called “histaminic cephalalgia.” Cafergot is a combination of 2 vasoconstrictors. It works by constricting blood vessels in the lining of the brain, which helps to decrease the pain from migraine headaches.
