Fizi Tablet contains Flunarizine 5 mg, a calcium channel blocker with antihistaminic properties used primarily for the prevention of migraine headaches and the management of vestibular disorders. It helps reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks by stabilizing vascular tone in the brain and improving cerebral blood flow.
Flunarizine is used as a prophylactic (preventive) medicine and is not intended for the immediate relief of acute migraine attacks.
