How Coolgrain Tablet works
Coolgrain Tablet is a combination of caffeine, ergotamine, paracetamol, and prochlorperazine. Ergotamine constricts blood vessels in the brain, reducing migraine pain caused by dilation. Caffeine enhances this effect by boosting ergotamine’s action. Paracetamol provides pain relief, while prochlorperazine helps control nausea and vomiting, which are common migraine symptoms. Together, these components work to alleviate headache pain and associated symptoms.
