I've used ercaf as an abortive for 30 years now. One at the start of a HA and another 15 minutes later if the HA isn't going away. Average around 30 tabs/week (3 times the allowed dosage). It constricts the blood vessels. Because of this, over use can shut down the circulation and cause gangreene to set in. Smoking enhances the vessel consrtiction. When the doc first found out I was taking so much the first thing he asked was if I smoked. I said no, but I really did smoke. He then refered me to the neuro.
So, what they're worried about is shutting down the vessels too much.
