Bellergal
Bellergal is a patented medication that combines three active ingredients: belladonna alkaloids, ergotamine, and phenobarbital. It is primarily used to treat conditions such as menopausal symptoms, migraines, and vasomotor rhinitis.
Composition[edit | edit source]
Bellergal is composed of three active ingredients:
- Belladonna Alkaloids - These are a group of substances derived from the deadly nightshade plant. They have a variety of effects on the body, including reducing muscle spasms and excessive secretions.
- Ergotamine - This is a medication used to treat acute migraines. It works by constricting blood vessels in the brain.
- Phenobarbital - This is a barbiturate that is used to treat seizures, anxiety, and insomnia. It works by slowing down the activity of the brain and nervous system.

Bellergal is used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
- Menopausal Symptoms - Bellergal can help to alleviate hot flashes and night sweats associated with menopause.
- Migraines - The ergotamine in Bellergal can help to relieve the symptoms of acute migraines.
