Ergotamine and cerebral blood flow

V Hachinski, JW Norris, J Edmeads and PW Cooper

We measured the cerebral blood flow (CBF) of 16 patients by the xenon- 133 intracarotid method before and after the intramuscular injection of ergotamine tartrate. The regional and hemispheric CBF was unaltered, even in 3 migraneurs in who ergotamine relieved the headache. Ergotamine tartrate in therapeutic doses has no effect on the cerebral circulation.
