Suffering From Cluster Headches, Taking Pizotifeno Tablet. Is This The Right Medicine For Cluster Headaches?
My husband suffers with cluster headaches and is prescribed Pizotifen 0.5mg. He now buys these tablets in Tenerife under the name Pizotifeno 0.5mg made by Mosegor. However, the pharmacist told us that Mosegor is prescribed for appetite problems (bulimia?) is this drug multi purpose as my husband continues to take them for cluster headaches!

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Pizotifen is a drug used mainly in migraine and various type of headaches like cluster headache. In Spain Pizotifeno brand is available and both are same drugs. It is a drug which is also used in cases of poor appetite, and both are same. So it is a multipurpose drug and you can use it with ease in cluster headache.
Thanks
