Overview
Fenamon 10mg Tablet contains flunarizine 10mg, a calcium channel blocker with additional antihistamine properties, used for the prophylaxis (prevention) of migraine headaches and for the treatment of vertigo of vestibular origin (dizziness caused by problems with the balance system).
Flunarizine works by blocking calcium channels in blood vessel and nerve cell membranes, which reduces excessive neuronal excitability and helps stabilise blood flow in the brain. This lowers the frequency of migraine attacks and reduces episodes of vertigo.
How it Works
Flunarizine selectively blocks calcium channels, reducing excessive calcium influx into nerve and smooth muscle cells. This lowers neuronal hyperexcitability associated with migraine and helps stabilise the vestibular system, reducing the frequency of migraine attacks and vertigo episodes.
Directions for Use
Take Fenamon 10mg Tablet once daily at night, with or without food, to reduce daytime drowsiness. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine affects you the next morning.
Dosage
The usual dose of Fenamon 10mg Tablet is one tablet taken once daily in the evening, due to its sedative effect. Your doctor will confirm the right dose and duration for you, and will typically review your treatment periodically, as flunarizine is generally not intended for continuous, indefinite use given the risk of side effects with prolonged treatment.
