Almus Migraine Relief Tablets 3mg tablets

What Are Almus Migraine Relief Tablets?

Almus Migraine Relief Buccal Tablets contain the active ingredient prochlorperazine, which helps reduce nausea and vomiting associated with migraine attacks. These tablets are placed in your mouth between your upper lip and gum (buccal), allowing them to dissolve and provide rapid relief directly into the bloodstream.

They are particularly helpful if your migraines cause significant nausea, making it difficult to swallow regular tablets or keep them down.

How Do Almus Migraine Tablets Work?

Prochlorperazine belongs to a group of medications known as anti-sickness (antiemetic) medicines. It works by blocking signals in the brain responsible for triggering nausea and vomiting during a migraine attack. Placing the tablet in the mouth allows the medicine to quickly enter your bloodstream and act rapidly to reduce your symptoms.

Using Almus Migraine Relief Tablets can help you by:

• Quickly controlling nausea: Fast-acting relief to help ease sickness during migraines.
• Easy to take: No need to swallow with water, making them ideal when nausea is severe.

How to Take Almus Migraine Relief Tablets

Always follow the instructions provided with your medicine:

• Place one tablet high up between your top gum and lip.
