Mosegor 0.5mg Tablet contains Pizotifen 0.5mg, a medicine primarily used for the prevention of migraine and cluster headaches. It works by blocking certain serotonin and histamine receptors involved in triggering migraine attacks, helping reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. It is intended for preventive treatment and is not effective for relieving an active migraine attack.
