Hello
It seems from the history that you are having headache and on treatment with paracetamol, metoclopromide.
Paracetamol is an antipyretic drug and reduces fever, metoclopromide is an antiemetic drug to get relief from vomiting.
Pontalon contains mefenamic acid and it is a analgesic drug and relieves muscular pains and headache.

Hence you can take pontalon for relief from headache.

Thank you
