How to use medicine to treat neuralgia?

The treatment of neuralgia cannot be ignored. After all, the occurrence of this phenomenon can cause great harm to the patient's health. It can be treated with some drugs. Vasoconstrictors, magnesium preparations and analgesics are all methods of treating neuralgia.

1. Vasoconstrictor: Ergotamine is a powerful vasoconstrictor, suitable for the prevention of the prodromal stage of migraine. Such as ergotamine caffeine, used before a headache occurs.

2. Magnesium preparations: Magnesium ions can reduce the excitability of the central nervous system, block sympathetic ganglia, relax vascular smooth muscles, and dilate blood vessels. You can take 15 ml of 33% magnesium sulfate orally 3 times a day.

3. Calcium-ion antagonists: The main mechanism of action of this type of drug is to block the slow calcium ion channel, inhibit the release of serotonin and thromboxane A2 by platelets, persistently inhibit vasoconstrictive substances and dilate blood vessels, thereby improving the vasodilation function. These drugs include nitroglycerin, pindolol, nimodipine, cefotaxime and flunarizine hydrochloride.

4. Analgesics: The main purpose of using this type of medicine is to relieve or eliminate the pain of headache. Because the drug can combine with opioid receptors in the brain, it stimulates the anti-pain system in the brain, increases the pain threshold, and thus exhibits analgesic effects. Commonly used drugs include aspirin, analgesic tablets (somiaclomol), chlorpromazine, chlorpromazine and carbamazepine.

5. Anti-anxiety and sedatives: This type of drug can reduce the patient's mental tension and anxiety and inhibit the excitability of the central nervous system. Such as sildenafil, fenalidone, doxepin and chlordiazepoxide.
