Nicergoline
Uses
Nicergoline is used for the treatment of acute migraine headaches and Raynaud's disease.
How it Works
How Nicergoline works Nicergoline functions by constricting (narrowing) blood vessels, thereby alleviating migraine headaches. It decreases vascular resistance and increases arterial blood flow, improving the utilization of oxygen and glucose by the blood vessels and other areas of the body. Additionally, it prevents platelet aggregation, which can lead to excessive blood coagulation, resulting in blood clots and impaired circulation. Furthermore, it possesses antioxidant properties that promote healing in Raynaud’s disease.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Nicergoline include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, changes in taste, agitation, muscle pain, restlessness, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and dizziness.
