“In 26 patients migraine was induced in two separate tests and then ergotamine was administered once after methoxamine pretreatment and once after placebo; methoxamine was significantly more effective than placebo in blocking antimigraine effect of ergotamine (p = 0.0055 Fisher's exact test).”
“The positive inotropic effects of methoxamine were not altered by beta-adrenergic blockade (propranolol), or catecholamine depletion by prior reserpinization, but were completely prevented by alpha-adrenergic blockade (phentolamine or ergotamine).”
