Medications for Migraine

Medications used to treat and prevent migraine headaches.

Migraines are a type of recurring headache that can cause moderate to severe throbbing or pulsing pain, often on one side of the head. In addition to headache pain, people may experience symptoms like nausea, weakness, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraines can be triggered by various factors, including stress, hormonal changes, bright lights, loud noises, strong smells, and changes in sleep patterns. Some individuals may also find that certain foods or ingredients can trigger their migraines. There are four phases of a migraine: prodrome, aura, headache, and postdrome, with symptoms varying from person to person. While there is no cure for migraines, a range of prescription medications can help relieve symptoms and prevent future attacks. It is important to talk with your doctor about which treatment option may be best for you.
