Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Nowadays, I am getting a migraine every three days alternatively. Before a few days, I usually get a migraine once in 20 days. Often, I have visual problems and aura symptoms. It relieves after taking Zerodol. Please suggest.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

A migraine has two types of treatment. When the duration of the attack is more than 24 hours, we need to use both abortive and prophylactic medicine. In your case, you must use both treatments. You can use Methysergide with Fluoxetine and Gabapentin as a preventive drug along with an abortive one. Make a daily diary to sort out the triggering factors such as lack of sleep, fatigue, stress, certain foods, and vasodilators. Avoid it soon.
