DESCRIPTION:
Migraine affects 10% of the world's population, and 3 times more women than men. It is caused by a spasm of large blood vessels in the brain. Blood vessels constrict, which can bring about the hallucinatory aura, and then dilate, causing the throbbing pain.
MigraCap is useful in migraine which consists of a severe, throbbing headache, usually located on one side of the head. The pain begins suddenly in and around the eye or temple, spreading to one or both sides of the head and often accompanied by loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to sound, light and smell, or dislike for food. The attacks typically last 4-72 hours. Attacks can occur in early childhood, but most patients first develop symptoms between the ages of 10 and 30. It is believed that migraines may be hereditary as almost half of those suffering from migraines have family members who also have them. In approximately 30% of all cases, migraine attacks are preceded by warning signs such as scintillating visual effects, blind spots, zigzag flashing lights, numbness in parts of the body, and distorted visual effects, known as aura.
