Imigra Capsule 5 mg contains Flunarizine, a selective calcium channel blocker used primarily for the prevention of migraine attacks and the management of vestibular disorders such as dizziness and vertigo. It is not used for the immediate relief of acute migraine pain but is effective in reducing the frequency, severity, and duration of migraine episodes when taken regularly.

Flunarizine works by stabilizing the activity of blood vessels in the brain and improving cerebral blood flow regulation. It also reduces abnormal nerve excitability, which is believed to contribute to migraine development. In addition, it has antihistaminic and sedative properties that help control vertigo and balance-related symptoms.

Imigra Capsule is commonly prescribed for patients suffering from recurrent migraine headaches, especially when other preventive measures are insufficient. It is also useful in managing symptoms such as dizziness, spinning sensation, nausea, and imbalance associated with inner ear disorders.

Indications
