How does Faxolet work in migraine treatment?

Indeed, Faxolet has registered indications for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. Nevertheless, you can find its off-label use (except for indications from the leaflet) in the prevention of episodic migraine. Your doctor may reach for a medicine with venlafaxine (the active ingredient in Faxolet) if other classic migraine medications have not been effective or if there are any other strong reasons to use such therapy. Antidepressants probably cause a prophylactic effect in migraine by inhibiting the reuptake of neurotransmitters or by acting directly on receptors. It is indicated that the benefit is the parallel therapy of depression, which can - although of course does not have to - coexist with migraine. If in doubt why you were prescribed this medicine, what are the expected benefits of treatment and whether there are other therapeutic options - it is best to talk to the doctor who prescribed Faxolet.
