Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ergotamine tartrate and caffeine (Cafergot) is a combination medication used for the relief of headache, particularly migraine headaches. It works by constricting blood vessels in the brain and reducing inflammation, ultimately reducing the severity of the headache. It does not lower blood pressure, increase pulse rate, or reduce the urge to drink coffee.
