Buy Almogran
Almogran is a medication that is used to relieve headaches that are associated with migraine attacks with or without aura.
How Almogran works
Almogran is an antimigraine agent that belongs to a group of compounds known as selective serotonin receptor agonists. It reduces the inflammatory response associated with migraines by binding to the serotonin receptors to the blood vessels in the brain and causing them to narrow.
Directions
Always take Almogran exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you.
Almogran should not be used to prevent migraine attacks or headaches. It should be used strictly to treat an actual migraine attack.
The recommended dose is one 12.5mg tablet which should be taken as early as possible during a migraine attack.
If you experience a second migraine attack within 2hrs a second 12.5mg tablet can be taken. You must leave a minimum of 2 hours between each tablet.
The maximum dose is 2 tablets within 24 hours.
If you have severe kidney disease do not take more than 1 tablet every 24 hours.
