Uses of Cestonil Syrup Plus 120ml

Cestonil Syrup Plus 120ml is used to reduce how often migraine attacks happen, and in some cases to help prevent cluster headaches. It is a preventive treatment, so it does not stop an attack that has already started and may take several weeks to reach its full effect. Because it can increase appetite, it has also been used in some countries to help people with a poor appetite gain weight.

How Cestonil Syrup Plus 120ml works

Pizotifen blocks the effects of serotonin (5-HT) and histamine. Changes in serotonin activity are thought to play a part in the blood vessel and nerve changes behind migraine, so blocking it helps prevent attacks. Its actions on serotonin and histamine in the brain also increase appetite and cause drowsiness.
