What is migraine?

Migraine is a severe neurological condition causing intense pulsating headaches, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. Affecting about 15% of people, women are more susceptible. Recognizing early warning signs can help mitigate its effects.

What to take for migraine?

Unfortunately, there is not yet a permanent cure for this problem, however there are a number of treatments available that can help to lessen the effects of and even prevent episodes. For example painkillers such as ibuprofen and paracetamol can be used to reduce discomfort and you should take them as soon as you notice the signs of a migraine and try to rest as they get to work.

Many sufferers benefit from lying or sleeping in a darkened, quiet room. Avoiding physical activity can help too as exertion has been shown to accentuate the duration and acuteness of migraine. Medicines that reduce nausea and vomiting can also be useful.

As mentioned above, triptans work to reverse the changes in the brain that bring on migraine and at Click Pharmacy, we offer a range of these treatments, including:

By undoing the alterations in the brain, these medicines help to address the cause of migraines as well as alleviating the symptoms. After you have taken your first course of triptans a follow-up appointment will be recommended to ensure it has been effective and that no negative side effects have occurred. Do make sure you consult your GP or book an appointment with a Click Pharmacy doctor before using these drugs for the first time to ensure they are suitable for you.

Migraine can be a distressing condition, but with the right migraine meds, you can reduce your suffering.

Migraine prevention medication

Migraine prevention medication includes a wide range of options such as beta-blockers (metoprolol, timolol, propranolol), calcium-channel blockers, anticonvulsants (sodium valproate, gabapentin, topiramate), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

In the UK, guidelines for migraine prevention suggest several medication options. Topiramate and propranolol are recommended treatments for reducing the frequency of future migraine.

Amitriptyline may also be considered, depending on individual preferences, other health conditions, and the potential side effects of the medication. It is noted that gabapentin is not recommended for migraine prevention due to a lack of evidence supporting its effectiveness.

Furthermore, topiramate has been highlighted for its potential to cause birth defects, so healthcare professionals should discuss this risk with patients who could become pregnant. Additionally, riboflavin supplements may be beneficial for some individuals in reducing the number and severity of migraine. If neither topiramate nor propranolol are suitable, acupuncture may be offered as an alternative treatment option.

Migraine nasal spray

Migraine nasal sprays work by delivering medication directly into the nasal cavity, where it is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.

This method can provide rapid relief from migraine symptoms, making it a useful option for individuals who experience nausea or vomiting during migraines and may not be able to take oral medications.

One such medication available is Imigran Nasal Spray, which contains sumatriptan.

Imigran Nasal Spray is available in certified online pharmacy Click Pharmacy, providing a convenient option for those looking to manage their migraine symptoms effectively
