Is it allowed to take Cafergot ™ during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Cafergot is a tradename that contains several active ingredients in its composition: Caffeine (Low Risk probable) Ergotamine (High Risk probable) Since each active ingredient of this product may have a different level of risk for breastfeeding, we establish that of the product with higher risk. For more information (pharmacokinetics, references, ...) tap each active ingredient. Note: The composition of certain tradenames varies in each country. Please, make sure this is the composition of the tradename you are looking for..

This is the only migraine medicine that works for me. Only available now through a compounding pharmacy.

They have discontinued Cafergot here in the U.S. My doctor recommended MIGERGOT which is a generic brand for Cafergot. It is actually the exact same thing.

I have just been informed that this medication is now discontinued in Ontario Canada. I am hopeful that I will be able to take something else that is just as effective.
