How Migranex works
Migraine headaches are thought to result from the dilatation of blood vessels in the head. Migranex is a serotonin antagonist. It works by maintaining the level of serotonin (chemical messenger) in the brain and also prevents loss of tone and dilation of blood vessels, thus preventing the migraine headache.
What if you forget to take Migranex?
If you miss a dose of Migranex, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
