Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Dihydroergotamine Mesylate 5 mg/Metoclopramide 5 mg Troche is a specially compounded medication designed to address a range of conditions such as migraine headaches, nausea, and vomiting. This unique formulation brings together two potent active ingredients - dihydroergotamine mesylate and metoclopramide - to create a highly effective treatment option.

Dihydroergotamine mesylate functions as a vasoconstrictor, reducing the severity of migraine headaches by narrowing the blood vessels in the brain. On the other hand, metoclopramide acts as a dopamine antagonist, effectively reducing instances of nausea and vomiting by blocking the dopamine receptors in the brain that trigger these symptoms.

This combination of medications is presented in a troche form, a square-shaped solid dosage form designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. The medication is delivered through oral mucosa absorption, allowing for targeted local or systemic effects. This method of delivery not only ensures quick absorption but also makes the medication easy to take, providing rapid relief from migraine headaches, nausea, and vomiting.
