Mosegor 0.5 mg Tablets

Who is this for?

Pizotifen (commonly sold as Mosegor in Nigeria) is a drug that works by blocking certain chemicals in the brain like serotonin and histamine, which helps prevent migraine headaches and can also increase appetite and promote weight gain.

Blocks H1 histamine receptors and antagonizes serotonin receptors (5-HT1 and 5-HT2), preventing migraine attacks and stimulating appetite through central nervous system effects.

Is Pizotifen safe to take with another drug?

Adults usually start with 0.5 mg (1 tablet of Mosegor) taken once daily at night because it can make you sleepy. Your doctor may gradually increase the dose up to 1.5 mg daily, which can be taken as a single dose at night or split into 3 doses during the day. It can be taken with or without food. For migraine prevention, you may need to take it for several weeks before you notice full benefit.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule. Do not take two doses at once to make up for it.

• Feeling sleepy or drowsy (very common
• especially when you first start)
• increased appetite and weight gain
• dizziness
• dry mouth
• feeling tired or weak

Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Pizotifen as it can make the drowsiness much worse. Sleeping pills, antihistamines (like Piriton), and other drugs that cause drowsiness will have a stronger effect if combined with Pizotifen. If you are taking antidepressants, inform your doctor before starting Pizotifen.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can be very hot, so avoid storing near windows or in your car. Keep the container tightly closed to protect from humidity. Always keep out of reach of children.
