What is Cafergot?

Cafergot is a combination medication combining caffeine and ergotamine and is prescribed to treat certain types of headaches including migraines and cluster headaches. The two medications in Cafergot work together to relieve headache pain which is often caused by widened blood vessels in the head. Ergotamine works by narrowing widened blood vessels while caffeine increases the absorption of ergotamine while also narrowing blood vessels.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication.

• Cafergot should be taken orally either with or without food. Two tablets are typically taken at the first sign of headache, followed by a further tablet every half our until the headache is relieved.
