Both Mosegor and Migrostop are used to treat migraines, but they differ in the active ingredients they contain and, consequently, in their mechanism of action and specific uses. Understanding these differences helps determine the most appropriate medication to relieve or prevent migraine attacks.
Mosegor Tablets Ingredients
Mosegor Tablets contain the active ingredient pizotifen. Pizotifen is an antihistamine and serotonin. It is primarily used as a preventative medication to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. It is believed to work by blocking the effect of certain brain chemicals that contribute to migraines.
Migrostop Tablets Ingredients
Migrostop Tablets contain the active ingredient almotriptan. Almotriptan is a selective serotonin (5-HT1B/1D) receptor agonist, also known as a triptan. It is primarily used to treat acute migraine attacks once they have begun. It works by constricting blood vessels in the brain and reducing the release of chemicals that cause pain and inflammation during migraines.
