How Sermion 30mg Tablet Works
Sermion 30mg works by constricting (narrowing) these blood vessels, thereby relieving the migraine headaches. Sermion 30mg decreases vascular resistance and increases arterial blood flow, improving the utilization of oxygen and glucose by the blood vessels as well as other areas of the body. It also prevents platelet aggregation which coagulates the blood excessively, giving rise to blood clots and interfering with the blood circulation. Additionally it has antioxidant properties that enhance healing in Raynaud’s disease.
