Medicine Description mosegor 0.5mg
Mosegor 0.5mg Tablets is a medication that features pizotifen hydrogen maleate as its active component, functioning primarily as a serotonin receptor antagonist. By blocking serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2 type, pizotifen helps to stabilize neurovascular function and reduce the occurrence of migraine attacks. This action mitigates the vasodilation and subsequent inflammation that contribute to migraine pathology. Additionally, pizotifen has antihistaminic properties, which may provide a calming effect that indirectly supports better management of headache triggers associated with stress.
