Flunarizine Price in Bangladesh

Flunarizine is a tablet taken every night to prevent migraine attacks, not to stop one already under way. Doctors in Bangladesh prescribe it widely for people whose migraines come several times a month, and sometimes for vertigo. It reduces how often attacks happen and how severe they are over a period of weeks. This shelf carries flunarizine in two strengths from several local manufacturers. Sleepiness, appetite and mood are the side effects worth watching for.

Prevention or Relief?

Type	When taken	Example
Preventive	Every day, whether or not there is a headache	Flunarizine, propranolol
Relief	At the start of an attack	Painkillers, tolfenamic acid

Who Is Offered a Preventive

Doctors usually suggest prevention when migraines come four or more days a month, when attacks are long or disabling despite relief medicines, or when painkillers are being taken so often that they risk causing medication-overuse headache. A headache diary for a month before the appointment, noting days, triggers and tablets taken, helps the doctor decide and later shows whether the preventive is working.

Taking Flunarizine

Flunarizine is taken once daily at bedtime, because it causes drowsiness. Benefit builds over four to eight weeks, so judge it after about two months rather than after a few days. Doctors often prescribe it for a few months, then reduce or pause it to see whether migraines stay controlled. Do not double the dose on a bad week; use your relief medicine for attacks as usual.

Sleepiness, Appetite and Weight

Daytime sleepiness, a bigger appetite and gradual weight gain are the commonest complaints. Taking it at night helps the first. For the second, keep an eye on snacking and keep up regular walking from the start, rather than waiting until weight has gone up. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel drowsy, especially in the first weeks, and avoid alcohol, which adds to the drowsiness.

Mood and Movement Side Effects

• Low mood or depression — stop and tell the doctor promptly.
• Tremor, stiffness, slowness — more likely in older people.
• Restless legs — occasionally reported.
• Avoid it with a history of depression or Parkinson’s disease.

Vertigo

Some doctors use flunarizine for recurrent vertigo, including vertigo linked with migraine. Brief spinning on turning the head is more often an inner-ear problem that responds to repositioning exercises taught by a doctor or physiotherapist. Sudden vertigo with weakness, slurred speech or double vision is a stroke warning and needs emergency care. Other vertigo medicines are on Anti Vertigo.

Triggers Worth Reducing

Common migraine triggers include missed meals, poor or irregular sleep, dehydration in hot weather, bright sunlight, strong smells, stress, and for some women the days around a period. Regular meals, plenty of water, sunglasses outdoors and a fixed sleep routine reduce attacks for many people and make any preventive medicine work better. Too much caffeine, and sudden withdrawal from it, can also trigger headaches.

Headaches That Need Urgent Care

A sudden, severe headache like a thunderclap, a headache with fever and stiff neck, one after a head injury, new headaches after fifty, or headaches with weakness, confusion or changes in vision need prompt medical assessment, not a migraine preventive. Migraines that change their pattern also deserve a fresh review.

Pregnancy and Children

Flunarizine is generally avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding; discuss migraine plans with your doctor before trying to conceive. In children, migraine prevention is decided by a doctor, who weighs drowsiness and school performance before choosing any daily tablet.

Flunarizine Price in Bangladesh

Flunarizine tablets from local manufacturers are inexpensive in both strengths.

Because flunarizine is taken for months and then reviewed, the diary kept before starting is the measure of whether it earned its place: fewer migraine days means it is working. Propranolol and other beta-blockers used for prevention are on Beta-Blockers.

Before You Order

• Take it at bedtime, every day.
• Give it about two months before judging.
• Avoid it with depression or Parkinson’s.
• Watch weight from the start.
• Keep a headache diary.
