How It Works

How It Works

How Does Pizotifen Work?

Pizotifen acts by affecting certain serotonin (5-HT) receptors in the brain. Serotonin is a chemical messenger involved in blood vessel tone and nerve signaling. By blocking specific serotonin and histamine receptors, Pizotifen helps prevent the narrowing and swelling of blood vessels that can trigger migraines. This action reduces the frequency and severity of migraine attacks over time. This medication does not relieve a migraine once it starts, but it is used as a preventive treatment, so consistent use over several weeks is necessary to see its full benefits.
