Flunarizine

Propranolol

Prevention of migraine headaches

Treatment of vertigo (dizziness)

Flunarizine is a calcium channel blocker that works by reducing the flow of calcium into cells. This helps to prevent the release of chemicals that cause migraines and vertigo. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the effects of adrenaline, which can cause blood vessels to constrict and trigger migraines. The combination of Betacap Plus 10 Cap (Flunarizine + Propranolol) provides a multi-faceted approach to managing migraine headaches and vertigo.
