Fluver Tablet 10 mg contains Flunarizine, a selective calcium channel blocker primarily used for the prevention of migraine attacks and management of vestibular disorders such as vertigo. By regulating calcium influx into vascular smooth muscle and neuronal cells, Flunarizine helps stabilize cerebral blood flow, reduce abnormal nerve excitability, and prevent the onset of migraine headaches.

Fluver is designed for adult patients experiencing frequent or severe migraines and balance disorders. Its once-daily dosing regimen ensures convenience while providing sustained therapeutic effects.

Indications

Fluver Tablet 10 mg is prescribed for:

• Migraine prophylaxis: Reduces the frequency, duration, and intensity of migraine attacks in adults.
• Vertigo and balance disorders: Helps alleviate dizziness associated with vestibular dysfunction.
• Motion sickness: Reduces susceptibility to motion-induced nausea and dizziness in some patients.
• Other neurological conditions: May be used in selected cases involving abnormal calcium channel activity, under medical supervision.

Dosage and Administration

• Adults: Typically 10 mg once daily at bedtime, unless a lower dose is advised by the physician.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with water and may be taken with or without food.
• The dose may be adjusted based on patient response and tolerability.
• Treatment for migraine prevention often continues for several months to assess effectiveness.
• Avoid abrupt discontinuation; consult a physician before stopping therapy.

Mechanism of Action

Flunarizine works as a calcium channel blocker with the following effects:

• Vascular stabilization: Prevents excessive contraction of cerebral blood vessels, reducing migraine triggers.
• Neuronal modulation: Limits abnormal excitability in nerve cells, helping prevent migraine attacks and vertigo.
• Antihistaminic properties: May contribute to relief from motion sickness and vestibular disturbances.

These combined actions make Fluver highly effective in preventing migraine episodes and managing balance-related disorders.

Precautions

• Use cautiously in patients with depression or a history of mood disorders, as Flunarizine may exacerbate these conditions.
• Avoid in individuals with Parkinson’s disease or extrapyramidal disorders.
• May cause drowsiness or sedation; avoid driving or operating machinery until tolerance is established.
• Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a healthcare professional.
• Regular monitoring may be necessary for patients on long-term therapy.
