What is Cafergot?

Cafergot is a combination medication containing caffeine and ergotamine which is used to prevent certain types of headaches including migraines and cluster headaches. Headache pain is sometimes caused by widened blood vessels in your head. Both caffeine and ergotamine work by narrowing blood vessels. Caffeine also increases the absorption of ergotamine.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.

• Cafergot can be taken with or without food and should be taken at the first sign of a headache.
• A typical dose of Cafergot is two tablets at the first sign of a headache followed by another tablet every 30 minutes until the headache is relieved.
