I take Ergotamine for headaches. I get my meds thru Medco. My insurance pays most of the cost for generics. Last time Medco said they didn't have Ergotamine in stock (first time that has ever happened over the years.) They said they would need to send me Cafergot, the brand name. It costs me 10 times more. I need to know why I can not get Ergotamine.?? ## Same problem with caffergot or its generic ergotan/caff. Wally World used to charge $5 for a generic. Now they say they cannot get a generic. The real caffergot cost $300. ## Unfortunately, shortages sometimes happen, or a manufacture discontinues a medication, and while it is problematic, there's really nothing we can do about it. The typical side effects of this medication may include nausea, insomnia, dizziness, and dry mout...

What is Methergine used for? Any info would be appreciated. ## Methergine was prescribed for me for migraines to contract the blood vessels (a vasoconstrictor), prescribed by the Michigan Head Pain and Neurological Institute in Ann Arbor, Michigan. My class of migraines responds to all of the vasoconstrictors. Methergine has been used for pregnant women to stop bleeding. regular Primary Care physicians know little about migraines. Cafergot is in that class, I believe and works well for me, but watch for rebound headaches in long term use. This class is more responsive for me than Imitrex category. Hope this helps some. ## Where did you fill your script? I can't find. Anyone who carries it
