1. How does Almogran work to relieve migraines? Almogran contains almotriptan, which is a selective serotonin receptor agonist. It works by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain, causing blood vessels to narrow. This action reduces the inflammatory response associated with migraines, helping to alleviate the throbbing pain typically experienced during an attack​

2. When should I take Almogran during a migraine attack? Almogran is most effective when taken as soon as possible after the onset of a migraine attack. However, it can still provide relief if taken at a later stage. If your first dose does not relieve the migraine, do not take another dose for the same attack. If a second migraine occurs within 24 hours, a second dose may be taken, provided there is at least a two-hour gap between doses​

3. Can I use Almogran to prevent migraines? No, Almogran is not designed for the prevention of migraines. It should only be used to treat an active migraine attack. If you experience frequent migraines, consult your healthcare provider for a suitable preventive treatment​.

4. What are the common side effects of Almogran? Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, sleepiness, and dizziness. Uncommon side effects can include palpitations, indigestion, chest pain, and muscle pain. Rarely, more severe side effects, such as an increased heart rate or heart attack, can occur. Contact your doctor if you experience severe side effects​.

5. Can I take Almogran with other migraine medications? Almogran should not be taken in combination with other triptan medications (e.g., sumatriptan, zolmitriptan) or with migraine treatments containing ergotamine. Always consult your doctor about any medications you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions​
