Co-dergocrine: Uses, Side Effects & Brands in Pakistan

Co-dergocrine is an ergot-derived cerebral vasodilator. It is a prescription medicine used for age-related memory and concentration problems. In Pakistan it is available as tablets, drops and solution. On this page you can read how it works, its common side effects and precautions, and compare the brands and prices available at Medimart.

How Co-dergocrine works

Co-dergocrine is a mixture of ergot alkaloids. It is thought to act on dopamine, serotonin and adrenaline receptors in the brain and to improve brain cell metabolism and blood flow, although exactly how it works is not fully understood.

What is Co-dergocrine used for?

• Age-related memory and concentration problems

Co-dergocrine has been used in older adults for mild age-related decline in memory, concentration and alertness. Evidence that it helps is limited, and European regulators have restricted ergot-derived medicines of this type for these uses because the risks were judged to outweigh the modest benefits. A doctor should review whether it is still appropriate.

Side effects of Co-dergocrine

Side effects of Co-dergocrine are usually mild. Some people experience:

• Nausea or stomach upset
• Flushing
• Blocked nose
• Headache
• Dizziness on standing

Seek medical help promptly if you notice a very slow heartbeat, fainting, breathlessness, chest pain, or cold, numb or painful fingers and toes.

Precautions and warnings

• Ergot-type medicines have been linked to fibrosis (scarring) of the heart, lungs or abdomen and to ergotism, so long-term use needs careful review.
• Tell your doctor if you have a slow heart rate, low blood pressure, heart disease or any mental health condition.
• Do not take it with other ergot medicines or with medicines such as certain antibiotics and antifungals that raise ergot levels, so tell your doctor about everything you take.
• Memory problems can have treatable causes, so they should be properly assessed by a doctor.
• Get up slowly from sitting or lying to reduce dizziness.
