Migraine headaches are thought to result from the dilatation of blood vessels in the brain and the release of vasoactive and pro-inflammatory peptides (chemical messenger) from sensory nerve endings. Almigra 6.25mg Tablet is a selective serotonin receptor agonist. It works by constricting (narrowing) these blood vessels and prevents the release of the chemical messenger in the nerve endings, thereby relieving the migraine headaches.
