|contraindications=*Coadministration of ergotamine with potent [[CYP 3A4]] inhibitors ([[ritonavir]], [[nelfinavir]], [[indinavir]], [[erythromycin]], [[clarithromycin]] and [[troleandomycin]]) has been associated with acute ergot toxicity ([[ergotism]]) characterized by [[vasospasm]] and [[ischemia]] of the extremities, with some cases resulting in amputation. There have been rare reports of [[cerebral ischemia]] in patients on protease inhibitor therapy when ergotamine was coadministered, at least one resulting in death. Because of the increased risk for [[ergotism]] and other serious vasospastic adverse events, ergotamine use is contraindicated with these drugs and other potent inhibitors of [[CYP3A4]] (e.g., [[ketoconazole]], [[itraconazole]]).
*[[Ergomar]] Sublingual Tablets may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. [[Ergomar]] Sublingual Tablets are contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant.

|warnings======CYP 3A4 Inhibitors (e.g. Macrolide Antibiotics and Protease Inhibitors)=====
*Coadministration of ergotamine with potent [[CYP3A4]] inhibitors such as [[protease inhibitors]] or [[macrolide antibiotics]] has been associated with serious adverse events; for this reason, these drugs should not be given concomitantly with ergotamine. While these reactions have not been reported with less potent [[CYP3A4]] inhibitors, there is a potential risk for serious toxicity including [[vasospasm]] when these drugs are used with ergotamine. Examples of less potent [[CYP3A4]] inhibitors include: [[saquinavir]], [[nefazodone]], [[fluconazole]], [[fluoxetine]], grapefruit juice, [[fluvoxamine]], [[zileuton]], [[metronidazole]], and [[clotrimazole]]. These lists are not exhaustive, and the prescriber should consider the effects on [[CYP3A4]] of other agents being considered for concomitant use with ergotamine.

'''Ergotamine''' is an [[ergopeptine]] and part of the [[ergot]] family of [[alkaloid]]s; it is structurally and biochemically closely related to [[ergoline]]. It possesses structural similarity to several [[neurotransmitter]]s, and has [[biological activity]] as a [[vasoconstrictor]]. It is used [[Pharmacology|medicinally]] for [[migraine]] prevention (sometimes in combination with [[caffeine]]), and to induce [[childbirth]] and prevent [[post-partum]] [[haemorrhage]].

|drugInteractions=*Pharmacokinetic interactions (increased blood levels of ergotamine) have been reported in patients treated orally with ergotamine and [[macrolide antibiotics]] (e.g., [[troleandomycin]], [[clarithromycin]], [[erythromycin]]), and in patients treated orally with ergotamine and [[protease inhibitors]] (e.g. [[ritonavir]]) presumably due to inhibition of [[cytochrome P450]] 3A metabolism of ergotamine. Ergotamine has also been shown to be an inhibitor of [[cytochrome P450]] 3A catalyzed reactions. No pharmacokinetic interactions involving other [[cytochrome P450]] isoenzymes are known.

|useInPregnancyFDA=*There are no studies on the placental transfer or teratogenicity of Ergomar. Ergotamine crosses the [[placenta]] in small amounts, although it does not appear to be [[embryotoxic]] in this quantity. However, prolonged [[vasoconstriction]] of the [[uterine vessels]] and/or increased [[myometrial tone]] leading to reduced myometrial and placental blood flow may have contributed to [[fetal growth retardation]] observed in animals.
|useInLaborDelivery=*Ergomar is contraindicated in pregnancy due to its oxytocic effect which is maximal in the third trimester.
|useInNursing=*Ergot drugs are known to inhibit [[prolactin]] but there are no reports of decreased lactation with Ergomar. Ergotamine is excreted in breast milk and may cause symptoms of [[vomiting]], [[diarrhea]], weak pulse and unstable [[blood pressure]] in nursing infants. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from Ergomar, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
|useInPed=*Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
|administration=*Sublingual tablets
|overdose=*Symptoms include [[vomiting]], [[numbness]], [[tingling]], [[pain]] and [[cyanosis]] of the extremities associated with diminished or absent [[peripheral pulses]]; [[hypertension]] or [[hypotension]]; [[drowsiness]], [[stupor]], [[coma]], [[convulsions]] and [[shock]]. A case has been reported of reversible bilateral [[papillitis]] with ring [[scotomata]] in a patient who received five times the recommended daily adult dose over a period of 14 days. Treatment consists of removal of the offending drug. Maintenance of adequate pulmonary ventilation, correction of [[hypotension]], and control of [[convulsions]] and [[blood pressure]] are important considerations. Treatment of peripheral vasospasm should consist of warmth, but not heat, and protection of the ischemic limbs. Vasodilators may be beneficial but caution must be exercised to avoid aggravating an already existent [[hypotension]].

|mechAction=*Ergotamine is a alpha adrenergic blocking agent with a direct stimulating effect on the smooth muscle of peripheral and cranial blood vessels and produces depression of central vasomotor centers. The compound also has the properties of [[serotonin]] antagonism. In comparison to hydrogenated ergotamine, the adrenergic blocking actions are less pronounced and vasoconstrictive actions are greater.

==Mechanism of action==
The mechanism of action of ergotamine is complex. The molecule shares similarity with neurotransmitters such as [[serotonin]], [[dopamine]], and [[adrenaline]] and can thus bind to several cell [[Receptor (biochemistry)|receptors]] acting both as [[agonist]] and [[Receptor antagonist|antagonist]] in signal transduction within cellular tissues. The anti-migraine effect is due to constriction of the intercranial extracerebral blood vessels through the [[5HT1B|5-HT<sub>1B</sub> receptor]], and by inhibiting trigeminal neurotransmission by [[5HT1D|5-HT<sub>1D</sub> receptor]]s. Ergotamine also has effects on the [[dopamine]] and [[noradrenaline]] receptors. It is its action on the [[D2 receptor|D2 dopamine]] and [[5HT1A|5-HT<sub>1A</sub> receptor]]s that can cause some side effects. <ref name="Tfelt">{{cite journal|author= Tfelt-Hansen P, Saxena PR, Dahlof C, Pascual J, Lainez M, Henry P, Diener H, Schoenen J, Ferrari MD, Goadsby PJ|year=2000|title=Ergotamine in the acute treatment of migraine: a review and European consensus|journal= Brain|volume=123|pages=9-18|id=PMID 10611116}}</ref>
 
==Biosynthesis==
Ergotamine is a [[secondary metabolite]] ([[natural product]]) and the principal alkaloid produced by the ergot fungus, ''Claviceps purpurea'', and related fungi in the family [[Clavicipitaceae]]. Its biosynthesis in these fungi requires the [[amino acid]], L-[[tryptophan]], and [[dimethylallyl diphosphate]]. These precursor compounds are the substrates for the enzyme, ''dimethylally-tryptophan (DMAT) synthase'', catalyzing the first step in ergot alkaloid biosynthesis, i.e., the [[prenylation]] of L-tryptophan. Further reactions, involving [[methyltransferase]] and [[oxygenase]] enzymes, yield the [[ergoline]], [[lysergic acid]]. Lysergic acid (LA) is the substrate of ''lysergyl peptide synthetase'', a [[Nonribosomal peptide|nonribosomal peptide synthetase]], which [[covalent]]ly links LA to the amino acids, L-[[alanine]], L-[[proline]], and L-[[phenylalanine]]. Enzyme-catalyzed or spontaneous cyclizations, [[oxygenation]]s/[[oxidation]]s, and [[isomerization]]s at selected residues precede, and give rise to, formation of ergotamine.<ref name="Schardl">{{cite journal|author=Schardl CL, Panaccione DG, Tudzynski P|year=2006|title=Ergot alkaloids--biology and molecular biology|journal= Alkaloids Chem.
