Medicine Description mosegor 5mg
Mosegor 5mg Syrup is a medication that acts primarily as a serotonin antagonist. Its active ingredient, pizotifen hydrogen maleate, works by selectively blocking serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2 receptor subtype. This mechanism helps to reduce vasodilation and inflammation within the cranial blood vessels, which are typically involved in the pathophysiology of migraine headaches. By blocking these receptors, Mosegor not only prevents the onset of migraine attacks but also alleviates associated symptoms such as nausea and light sensitivity. Additionally, pizotifen has mild antihistaminic properties, which can contribute to its effectiveness in preventing migraines.
