Overview

Flunarizine 5mg operates by limiting the movement of calcium through cells, which is vital in regulating blood vessel dilation and nerve transmission processes involved in migraine attacks. Its ability to stabilize cellular activity in vascular smooth muscle and the central nervous system makes it an effective treatment for preventing migraines and managing symptoms of vertigo.

Flunarizine 5mg Uses

Flunarizine 5mg is prescribed for:

  • Prevention of migraine headaches.
  • Treatment of vestibular vertigo due to conditions affecting the inner ear and brain.
  • Management of other circulatory disorders as directed by a healthcare provider.

How Flunarizine 5mg Works

Flunarizine works by blocking calcium channels, particularly in the cells of the vascular and central nervous systems. This blockage prevents the excessive cellular calcium uptake that is thought to contribute to migraine pathophysiology. By controlling calcium levels, flunarizine helps to stabilize nerve cell function and reduce the dilation of blood vessels, thereby preventing the onset of migraine headaches and reducing symptoms of vertigo.

How to Use Flunarizine 5mg

  • Flunarizine 5mg is typically taken once daily at night, as it can cause drowsiness.
  • It can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily consumption is necessary for optimal results.
  • It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully and continue taking flunarizine even if you feel well, as stopping suddenly can cause your symptoms to worsen.
