Pizofen TS Tablet 1.5 mg contains Pizotifen, a serotonin antagonist used for the prevention of migraine headaches. This higher-strength formulation is designed for patients who require stronger or sustained preventive therapy. It helps reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of migraine attacks when taken regularly under medical supervision.

Migraine is a chronic neurological condition that can significantly impact daily life. Pizofen TS Tablet works as a long-term preventive solution rather than providing immediate relief from acute migraine pain.

Indications

Pizofen TS Tablet 1.5 mg is indicated for:

• Prevention of migraine headaches
• Chronic or recurrent migraine

Mechanism of Action

Pizotifen works by blocking serotonin (5-HT2) receptors in the brain. Serotonin plays a key role in the regulation of blood vessels and nerve signals involved in migraine attacks. By inhibiting these receptors, Pizotifen helps prevent abnormal vascular changes and reduces the likelihood of migraine episodes.

It also has mild antihistamine and anticholinergic effects, contributing to its overall preventive action.
