Flunarizine is a medication mainly used for the prevention of migraines and for the treatment of certain balance disorders, such as vertigo. It works by relaxing blood vessels in the brain and reducing neuronal excitability, helping to prevent migraine attacks and alleviate symptoms of dizziness or imbalance.

Flunarizine is taken orally, usually once a day, as directed by your doctor. It is important to follow the recommended dose and not to stop the treatment abruptly, as the preventive effect develops gradually after several weeks of use.

Side effects may include drowsiness, weight gain, fatigue, or, rarely, mood disturbances. In very rare cases, extrapyramidal reactions (tremor, rigidity) may occur. If you notice behavioral changes or unusual movements, contact your doctor.

Flunarizine is effective in preventing migraines and vertigo, but requires regular medical monitoring to prevent complications and ensure treatment safety.
