MigraTen

Tell your doctor if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. You may not be able to take medicine that contains acetaminophen.

Do not take more MigraTen than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death.

Do not use MigraTen if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur, leading to serious side effects. Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage while taking acetaminophen.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, pain, or sleep medication. Acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as APAP) is contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much acetaminophen which can lead to a fatal overdose. Check the label to see if a medicine contains acetaminophen or APAP.

Take MigraTen exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.

Do not take more of MigraTen than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death.

To treat migraine headache pain:

• Take the first dose of MigraTen as soon as you notice headache symptoms, or after an attack has already begun.

• If your headache does not completely go away, take 1 tablet or capsule every hour until you feel relief.

• Do not take more than a total of 5 tablets or capsules in any 12-hour period to treat a migraine.

Acetaminophen may cause false urine glucose test results. Talk to your doctor if you have diabetes and you notice changes in glucose test results while taking MigraTen.

Since MigraTen is taken as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to MigraTen: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Stop using MigraTen and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:

• low fever with nausea, stomach pain, and loss of appetite;

• dark urine, clay-colored stools; or

• jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

Less serious MigraTen side effects may include:

• dizziness;

• mild skin rash;

• sleep problems (insomnia); or

• feeling nervous, irritable, or jittery.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
