Sobelin 5 mg 100 Capsules – Flunarizine

Sobelin 5 mg is a medicine containing flunarizine, an active ingredient commonly used for the prevention of migraine attacks and the management of certain balance disorders, including vertigo, when prescribed by a healthcare professional. Flunarizine belongs to a group of medicines that influence calcium movement in cells and help regulate certain neurological processes.

Sobelin 5 mg may be prescribed to help reduce the frequency of migraine attacks. It is a preventive medicine rather than a treatment for immediately stopping an ongoing migraine attack. The benefits may develop gradually, and treatment should be reviewed regularly by a healthcare professional.

How to Use Sobelin 5 mg

Take Sobelin 5 mg only as prescribed by your doctor. The appropriate dose depends on your age, medical history, condition being treated, and response to the medicine.

Do not automatically follow a general dosage of one or two tablets daily without medical advice. Do not increase the dose or extend treatment on your own. Your doctor should assess whether the medicine is effective and whether continued treatment is appropriate.
