Are you in the UK / USA? This is a prescription medicine, you cannot buy over the counter. The doctor who would prescribe should tell you how to take it. The generic name is Flunarizine and it works well for some people with migraine. Here is the evidence:

There was a discussion on it recently here, you may want to read it :

Thanks. No im not in USA nor UK. But I overheard pharmacy in Philippines sells this over the counter. I was curious. I think having constant migraine, I would always try to find way how I can handle this safely. I have bleeding disorder too and most meds I try for migraine complicates my blood. I would check the link you posted. Thank you again.

I used it for six months and it was good, i was in the middle of a migraine crisis with several atacks a week, and after 3 or 4 weeks started working and my life changed. I live in the US but here it's not available, so I got it from my country Honduras. I stopped using it like two months ago and it hasn't been a bad time, i still have migraines but not that frequent. Hope will be work for you.
