Drug Interactions:
Acetaminophen may interact with certain medications such as warfarin, isoniazid, and alcohol, which can increase the risk of liver damage. It is important to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while taking this medication.

Ergotamine Tartrate can interact with potent CYP 3A4 inhibitors such as protease inhibitors, azole antifungals, and macrolide antibiotics, which can increase the risk of ergotism. It can also interact with serotonin 5-HT1 receptor agonists (triptans) and should not be used within 24 hours of these medications.
Prochlorperazine Maleate can interact with medications such as anticholinergic drugs, CNS depressants, and anticoagulants. It can also interact with lithium, causing an increase in extrapyramidal reactions.
How it treats disease states:
Acetaminophen works by changing the way the body senses pain and by cooling the body. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, heart, muscles, and the centers that control blood pressure. Ergotamine Tartrate works by constricting blood vessels in the brain and inhibiting the transmission of brain signals. Prochlorperazine Maleate works by blocking the action of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.
It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking to avoid any potential drug interactions. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.
The Acetaminophen 250 mg/Caffeine 100 mg/Ergotamine Tartrate 1 mg/Prochlorperazine Maleate 4.05 mg Oral Capsules are a combination medication designed to treat a variety of conditions. Each component of this formulation has a specific role and works in a unique way to alleviate symptoms and treat the underlying condition.
Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, is a common over-the-counter medication used to relieve pain and reduce fever. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation.
Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It works by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain, which in turn increases the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. This leads to increased arousal, vigilance, and cognitive performance. In this formulation, caffeine is used to enhance the pain-relieving effects of acetaminophen.
Ergotamine tartrate is an ergot alkaloid used to treat migraines and cluster headaches. It works by constricting blood vessels in the brain, which helps to alleviate the throbbing pain associated with these conditions. Ergotamine also affects serotonin (a neurotransmitter) activity in the brain, which may also contribute to its headache-relieving properties.
Prochlorperazine maleate is an antiemetic and antipsychotic medication. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps to control nausea and vomiting. It also has a calming effect, which can be beneficial for patients experiencing anxiety or agitation.
This combination of medications in a single capsule allows for convenient and precise dosing. The solid dosage form, composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells, encloses the medication and allows for easy swallowing.

If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.
