FZIN-5 (Flunarizine 5 mg)

FZIN-5 Tablet is a preventive medication used to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine headaches. It is not suitable for treating an ongoing migraine attack but can be effective in preventing future episodes when taken regularly. This medicine works by calming the brain and maintaining the stability of brain signals that may trigger migraines.

FZIN-5 Tablet can be taken with or without meals. To get the most benefit, take it at the same time every day. Do not skip doses, and continue the full course of treatment as advised by your healthcare provider, even if you begin to feel better. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible unless it’s almost time for the next one—then skip the missed dose.

Some individuals may experience side effects such as fatigue, muscle aches, constipation, nausea, difficulty sleeping, and nasal congestion. Additional effects may include increased appetite, changes in mood, abdominal discomfort, and breast tenderness. At the start of treatment, it may also cause drowsiness. Until you know how the medicine affects you, avoid driving or using heavy machinery.

Weight gain may occur in some people. To manage this, eat a nutritious diet and engage in regular physical activity. Since it can affect mood, regular observation of emotional health is important. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, seek medical advice before using this medicine.
