Sibelium (generically known as flunarizine) is used for the prophylactic (preventative) treatment of migraines and vertigo (dizziness). It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. Sibelium works by dilating the blood vessels in the brain, which helps to prevent the narrowing of blood vessels that can cause migraine headaches.
Sibelium also stabilizes the membranes of nerve cells, which helps to reduce the hyperexcitability of nerve cells in the brain that can lead to migraines. Sibelium is typically taken on a daily basis to prevent migraines from occurring, rather than as a treatment for a migraine episode that has already started.
Flunarizine is not used to treat an acute attack of migraine, but rather to help prevent future episodes. It must be taken regularly to be effective. It is available in tablet form, typically in doses of either 5mg or 10mg.
Flunarizine tablets are taken orally in the form of a tablet as directed by your doctor, usually once a day in the morning. Swallow it whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Sibelium 10mg Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time. If you are taking Flunarizine tablets twice a day, your doctor may instruct you to take one tablet in the morning and one tablet at noon.
The dosage of Flunarizine tablets is determined based on your medical condition and response to treatment. The recommended initial dosage for Sibelium is one 5-mg tablet taken at bedtime. The dosage may then be gradually increased to 10 mg/day or as recommended by the doctor. However, this should only be done following the doctor’s instructions, and the maximum recommended dose is 10 mg/day.
Take the medication regularly at the same time each day to get the most benefit from it. Even if you feel well, continue taking Flunarizine tablets and do not stop without first consulting your doctor, as abruptly stopping the medication can worsen some conditions.
