Thank you for asking on HCM.

Short asnwer: No.

Detailed answer: I really understand your concern.
Mosegor (Pizotifen) is contraindicated in patients with glaucoma, so it should be avoided. In your case, first glaucoma should be ruled out by measuring eye pressure and fundus oculi examination, because you can't risk to take that, while there are other drug that may help you for your migraine.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
