What Ergomar Is and How It Works

Ergomar (ergotamine tartrate) is an ergot alkaloid with alpha-adrenergic blocking and vasoconstrictor/serotonin-agonist activity. It's FDA-approved to abort or prevent vascular headaches, including migraine (with or without aura) and migraine variants such as cluster headache. The sublingual tablet is placed under the tongue as soon as a headache starts, not taken on a scheduled daily basis, and it is not intended for chronic daily use or as a standing migraine-prevention medicine.

Because ergotamine works best when taken early in an attack, your prescriber will typically go over exactly when and how often to use it, along with the maximum amounts allowed in a day and in a week.

Ergomar Cost and Savings

Ergomar does not currently have a manufacturer savings card program listed. Cash prices for this sublingual tablet can also vary noticeably from one pharmacy to the next, so it's worth using Rx.com to compare prices at pharmacies in your area before you fill, whether you're paying cash, are on Medicare, or your insurance doesn't cover this medication. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether a different ergotamine-based option, such as the combination product discussed below, might be a lower-cost fit for you.

Ergomar Compared to Cafergot, DHE, and Other Migraine Options

Ergomar is sometimes confused with other ergot-based or migraine medicines, but they are not interchangeable. Cafergot combines ergotamine with caffeine rather than using ergotamine alone. Dihydroergotamine (DHE) is a related but chemically distinct ergot derivative, used differently from ergotamine tartrate. Depending on your history and other health conditions, your provider may also consider triptans such as sumatriptan or rizatriptan for acute migraine treatment, or a preventive medicine like propranolol if you have frequent migraines. This is general information, not a recommendation to switch medicines — talk with your provider about which option fits your situation.

Ergomar Safety Information

Ergomar carries a boxed warning for serious and potentially life-threatening peripheral ischemia (vasospasm and limb ischemia) when combined with potent CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ritonavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, erythromycin, clarithromycin, ketoconazole, or itraconazole; this combination is contraindicated. Ergomar is also contraindicated in pregnancy, peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, uncontrolled hypertension, sepsis, and significant liver or kidney impairment.

Ergomar is not meant for daily, ongoing use, and taking more than directed raises the risk of ergotism (a syndrome that can include vasospasm and gangrene) as well as fibrotic complications reported with prolonged use. Labeling notes potential for abuse or dependence, although ergotamine is not a federally scheduled controlled substance. Always follow your prescriber's dosing limits, and tell them about all other medications you take, including over-the-counter drugs. This is educational information, not medical advice — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether Ergomar is right for you.
