Medication

Commonly prescribed migraine medications may help to prevent your headaches

Until we learn more about the primary prevention of headache disorders, medications remain the mainstay of treatment. Learn how to most effectively manage your headaches with medication when trigger management and lifestyle management are not adequate to keep your headaches at bay. At present, preventative medication therapy is under-utilized in the management of migraine headache. If you have three or more days of disabling headache per month, migraine prevention may be helpful for you, and you should discuss this with your physician.

Even if you have as few as two disabling headache days a month, but cannot use triptan medications to abort them because of other medical conditions, you may be a candidate for migraine prevention medication.
