How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Caffeine 100 mg/Butalbital 60 mg/Ergotamine Tartrate 2 mg/Atropine Sulfate 0.25 mg Suppository is specifically designed to provide relief from migraine headaches, tension headaches, and cluster headaches. Each component of this formulation plays a crucial role in alleviating the symptoms associated with these conditions.

Caffeine, a well-known stimulant, works by reducing inflammation and constricting blood vessels, thereby helping to alleviate the pain associated with headaches. Butalbital, a sedative, aids in muscle relaxation and pain reduction, providing a calming effect. Ergotamine Tartrate, a vasoconstrictor, assists in reducing the size of the blood vessels in the brain, which can help to alleviate the pressure and pain associated with headaches. Lastly, Atropine Sulfate, an anticholinergic, works to reduce the intensity of the headache, providing further relief.

When using this suppository formulation, it is essential to follow your healthcare provider's instructions. The suppository should be inserted into the rectum and left in place for at least 30 minutes to allow for optimal absorption of the medication into the bloodstream. During this time, the medication will begin to take effect, providing relief from your headache symptoms. It is important to note that this formulation should not be used more than twice a day and should not be used for more than two consecutive days.
