Dihydroergotamine (DHE), sold under the brand name Migranal among others, is a medication used to treat migraines, cluster headaches, and medication overuse headaches.[2][3] It has a particular benefit in hard to treat migraines.[4] It may be used as a nasal spray or by injection.[1] Onset is within 5 to 30 minutes.[2]
Common side effects include high blood pressure, flushing, sweating, and nausea.[2] Other side effects may include myocardial ischemia, stroke, arrhythmia, and ergotism.[2] Use is not recommended during pregnancy, in those with liver or kidney problems, or those with vascular disease.[1] It is a derivative of ergotamine.[4] It activates serotonin receptors as well as dopamine and adrenergic receptors.[4]
Dihydroergotamine was first made in 1943 and has been in medical use since.[1][4] It is available as a generic medication.[5] In the United States it costs about 45 USD per dose by injection and 370 USD per dose in the nose as of 2021.[5][6] As of the 2010s it is less commonly used than triptans.[7]
