METAPECT FLUNA

METAPECT FLUNA is a fixed-dose combination tablet. Each tablet contains flunarizine 5 mg and paracetamol 325 mg. Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., a WHO-GMP and ISO 9001-certified pharmaceutical manufacturer based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, makes and markets it.

Flunarizine is a selective calcium channel blocker. It reduces the entry of excess calcium into nerve and blood-vessel cells in the brain, and it helps keep blood vessels stable. This is thought to make the brain less easily triggered into a migraine attack. It also has an anti-vertigo effect, since it reduces abnormal signalling in the balance system of the inner ear. Flunarizine is a preventive medicine. It works over weeks and is taken regularly, rather than once the pain has started.

Paracetamol (acetaminophen) acts in the brain to raise the pain threshold and lower fever. It is one of the most widely used pain relievers, and it is generally gentler on the stomach than aspirin-type medicines.

Together, the two drugs address migraine from two sides: reducing how easily attacks are triggered, and easing headache pain when it occurs. This tablet does not cure migraine.

Product Information

Why Is This Combination Important?

Migraine is more than a bad headache. It can bring throbbing pain on one side, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and dizziness. Frequent attacks disrupt work, study, sleep and family life, and many people end up taking painkillers too often. The combination matters for these reasons.

1. Two-pronged approach. One ingredient works on prevention and the other on pain relief, which can suit patients who have frequent attacks with headache.
2. Fewer attacks over time. Flunarizine's regular use is aimed at making migraine attacks less frequent and less severe.
3. Helps vertigo-linked symptoms. Flunarizine also helps in dizziness and vertigo, which are common alongside migraine.
4. Familiar pain relief. Paracetamol is widely used and generally well tolerated at correct doses.
5. Low starting strength. The 5 mg flunarizine strength suits a careful start, and it is often chosen for older adults or sensitive patients.
6. Simple schedule. A once-a-day tablet, usually taken at night, is easy to remember.
7. Long clinical experience. Both ingredients have been used for many years, so their safety profiles are well understood.
