Action Non-selective agonist to Selective 5HT1 agonist VC PG synthesis & Antagonize dopaminergic
5HT1 & dopamine Rs  Inhibition of release of inflam inflammatory mediators activity during initial phase of
powerful & selective VC of peptide (CGRP) from trigeminal migraine 
ECA & its branches vascular fibers in the meninges  gastric motility & drug
