Ergotamine narrows the blood vessels involved in circulation to the head. Ergotamine can also alter blood flow patterns involved in vascular headaches, such as migraines.
Phenobarbital is a barbiturate that reduces brain and nervous system activity.
The combination of belladonna, ergotamine, and phenobarbital is used to treat symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, sweating, increased heart rate, dizziness, restlessness, headache, anxiety, and trouble sleeping.
Belladonna, ergotamine, and phenobarbital may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
