CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Isometheptene Mucate, a sympathomimetic amine, acts by constricting dilated cranial and cerebral arterioles, thus reducing the stimuli that lead to vascular headaches. Dichloralphenazone, a mild sedative, reduces the patient’s emotional reaction to the pain of both vascular and tension headaches. Acetaminophen raises the threshold to painful stimuli, thus exerting an analgesic effect against all types of headaches.

Nope, never tried it.

As far as I know Midrin doesn't work for CH. It does work for migraines, though.

Midrin was the first med that i was RX'd. It had absolutely no effect.

It did however help once when i took it for a run of the mill tension headache!

My girlfriend has migraines and uses midrin---it only works if she takes it right at the beginning.

My youngest son takes it for migraines and it helps. My oldest takes it for migraines and clusters.
