Fluver Tablet 5 mg contains Flunarizine, a calcium channel blocker used to prevent migraine attacks and manage certain neurological conditions. It works by reducing the influx of calcium into vascular smooth muscle and nerve cells, helping stabilize blood vessels in the brain and decreasing abnormal neuronal activity.

Fluver is commonly prescribed for migraine prophylaxis, vertigo, and balance disorders, providing relief from frequent headaches and dizziness while improving quality of life.
