Flurium Tablet 10 mg contains Flunarizine, a calcium channel blocker with antihistaminic properties, primarily used in the prevention of migraine and the management of vestibular disorders. It is not intended for the acute treatment of migraine attacks but is highly effective in reducing the frequency, severity, and duration of migraine episodes when used regularly as prescribed.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Flunarizine 10 mg

• Dosage Form: Oral tablet

Therapeutic Class

• Calcium Channel Blocker

• Antimigraine Preparation

Indications

Flurium Tablet 10 mg is indicated for:

• Prophylaxis of migraine (with or without aura)

• Management of vestibular disorders such as vertigo, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting of vestibular origin

• Symptomatic treatment of balance disturbances related to inner ear conditions

Pharmacology

Flunarizine works by selectively blocking calcium ion influx into cells, particularly in vascular smooth muscle and neurons. This action helps stabilize blood vessels in the brain, preventing abnormal constriction and dilation that contribute to migraine development. Additionally, its antihistaminic activity helps suppress vestibular stimulation, making it effective in controlling vertigo and associated symptoms. Flunarizine also exhibits mild sedative properties, which may contribute to its therapeutic benefits in certain patients.
