- Acute (Abortive) Medications These medications are designed to treat migraines once they start, providing fast relief from the pain and other symptoms.
- Triptans: These are among the most common and effective treatments for migraines. Triptans, such as sumatriptan, work by constricting blood vessels in the brain and reducing inflammation.
- NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs): Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen and aspirin can help relieve mild to moderate migraine pain.
- Ergotamines: These medications are effective in reducing the intensity of migraines. They are often prescribed when triptans are not suitable.
- Antiemetics: Nausea is a common symptom of migraines. Antiemetics like metoclopramide help prevent and treat nausea and vomiting associated with migraines.
- Preventive (Prophylactic) Medications If you suffer from frequent migraines, preventive medications may be recommended to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks.
- Beta-Blockers: These medications, such as propranolol, are often prescribed to prevent migraines by affecting the blood flow and nerve activity in the brain.
- Antidepressants: Certain antidepressants, like amitriptyline, can help prevent migraines by regulating serotonin levels.
- Anti-Seizure Medications: Medications like topiramate are commonly used to prevent migraines by stabilizing electrical activity in the brain.
- CGRP Inhibitors: These newer medications, such as erenumab, work by blocking a protein involved in the initiation of migraines.
- OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) Injections Botox injections are FDA-approved for chronic migraines. Administered by our skilled professionals, Botox can help reduce the frequency of migraines by blocking the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission.
