Pizotifen is a tricyclic (Benzocycloheptathiophene) compound possessing structural similarities to cyproheptadine and the tricyclic antidepressant drugs. Pharmacodynamic studies demonstrate pizotifen to have powerful antiserotonin and antitryptaminic properties, marked antihistaminic effects and some antagonistic activity against kinins. The prophylactic effect of pizotifen in migraine is associated with its ability to modify the humoral mechanisms of headache. |
