The postulated pivotal role of focal brain hypoxia in the genesis of the migraine attack and the anti-hypoxic properties of flunarizine, led to the use of the selective Ca-entry blocker in the treatment of migraine. Clinical experience is reviewed. Open findings, confirmed by double-blind placebo-controlled studies and comparisons with pizotifen and cinnarizine, showed that flunarizine 10 mg/day, is a safe and effective prophylactic drug for both common and classical migraine. Factors determining the efficacy of flunarizine are discussed.
