Uses / Indications:
Migralgin Tablet is used to treat:
Migraine episodes that make you feel sick and throw up
Headaches that feel like tension
Mild to moderate pain, like back pain, muscle discomfort, or toothache (if your doctor tells you to take it)
Fever and pain that comes with it
Pregnancy interaction:
Pregnancy: Be careful when taking Migralgin Tablet when pregnant.
Most people think that taking paracetamol in the right amounts is harmless.
However, there isn't much information about domperidone in pregnant women, and it could be bad for the mother's heart.
Always talk to your doctor before taking Migralgin while pregnant. You should only take it if the possible benefit is greater than the risk.
Breastfeeding:
Paracetamol is thought to be safe because it only gets into breast milk in little doses.
Domperidone is passed into breast milk in small amounts, so be careful.
Do not use when breastfeeding unless a doctor says it's okay.
Expert advice:
Don't take more than the suggested dose; taking too much paracetamol might seriously hurt your liver.
Don't drink alcohol while taking Migralgin because it makes the liver more toxic.
If you have heart rhythm problems, severe liver or kidney illness, or bleeding in your stomach, don't take this.
If you are taking other medicines that contain paracetamol or domperidone, tell your doctor.
For the best benefits, take the drug as soon as you start to feel a migraine coming on.
Do not use it all the time without talking to a doctor; Migralgin is just for short-term relief of symptoms.
Side Effects:
Mouth that is dry
Feeling dizzy or lightheaded
Cramps in the stomach
Tiredness or weakness
Constipation or diarrhea
Serious (Rare) Side Effects:
Rash, itching, swelling, and shortness of breath are all signs of an allergic reaction.
Irregular heartbeat (QT prolongation from domperidone)
Damage to the liver from taking too much paracetamol
Movement disorders (facial movements that can't be controlled; rare)
If you have chest pain, jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin), or really bad allergy symptoms, you should see a doctor right away.
How to use:
As directed, take one tablet with water, either before or after eating.
Take it before or at the start of a migraine attack, if possible.
Don't break or chew the tablet.
You should not take more than 3–4 doses a day, and you should not take it for more than 3 days in a row without talking to a doctor.
If you forget to take your medicine and your symptoms don't go away, take it when you recall. Don't take twice as much.
How it works:
Migralgin Tablet acts by relieving pain in two ways:
Acetaminophen (Paracetamol)
It helps with pain and lowers fever.
Stops the brain from making prostaglandins, which helps lower heat and headache pain.
Domperidone
It works as an antiemetic, which means it stops nausea and vomiting.
It works by inhibiting dopamine receptors in the brain and gut, which helps manage the ill sensation that comes with a migraine.
They work together to ease migraine discomfort and stop nausea and vomiting that come with it.

Medicine interaction:
Migralgin could have an effect on:
With Domperidone:
Macrolide antibiotics, such as erythromycin and clarithromycin
Antifungal drugs (itraconazole, ketoconazole)
Amiodarone and quinidine are antiarrhythmic medicines.
Antipsychotic drugs
These can make it more likely that your heart will beat too fast or too slowly (QT prolongation).
With Paracetamol:
Warfarin or other blood thinners may make bleeding more likely.
Alcohol: raises the risk of liver damage
Other drugs that include paracetamol may induce overdose toxicity.
Always tell your doctor about any other medications or supplements you are taking.
