Brand Name: D.H.E. 45

Infrequently, a very serious life-threatening decrease in the amount of blood supply to the hands and feet (peripheral ischemia) and, rarely, to the brain can occur when D.H.E. 45 is taken with drugs that affect liver metabolism (eg, potent CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitors). Do not take D.H.E. 45 with a macrolide antibiotic (eg, erythromycin, clarithromycin, troleandomycin), HIV protease inhibitor (eg, ritonavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, amprenavir, saquinavir), or azole antifungal (eg, ketoconazole, itraconazole).

D.H.E. 45 is used for:

Preventing or treating acute migraine headache with or without aura (flashing lights, wavy lines, dark spots) and cluster headaches.

D.H.E. 45 is an ergot derivative. It works by constricting blood vessels in the brain, which helps to relieve migraine headaches.

Do NOT use D.H.E. 45 if:

• you are allergic to any ingredient in D.H.E. 45 or to other ergot derivatives (eg, ergotamine)


• you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding


• you are taking delavirdine, efavirenz, an HIV protease inhibitor (eg, indinavir), an imidazole (eg, ketoconazole), a macrolide (eg, erythromycin), a ketolide (eg, telithromycin), sumatriptan, or voriconazole


• you have used other migraine medications (eg, ergot-containing medications, another 5-HT₁ agonist) within the last 24 hours


• you have a history of heart disease, heart attack, or chest pain, or you have recently had heart surgery


• you have severely impaired kidney or liver function, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or other types of migraine headaches (hemiplegic or basilar)


• you have brain, heart, or peripheral blood vessel disease, blood circulation problems, or a blood disease, or you have had vascular surgery


• you have an infection of blood or tissues
