Actigrain 5 Tablet 10 contains flunarizine (5 mg) which works on your body as follows:

• Calcium Channel Blocking: Flunarizine prevents calcium from entering the cells of cerebral blood vessels. This action helps keep the vessels from contracting and dilating abnormally, a key factor thought to cause migraines.

• Inhibits Pain-Signaling Neurons: Flunarizine effectively reduces the excessive firing of pain-signalling neurons in certain pathways of your brain.

• Prevents Release of Inflammatory Substances: Flunarizine prevents the release of substances in the body that can cause inflammation and contribute to migraines.

• Anti-histamine Effects: Flunarizine also has some anti-histamine properties, which can help reduce triggers that might lead to a migraine attack.
