Is it safe to use the tablet Naratriptan for migraine during pregnancy?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for writing in, and I understand your concern.

I am sure that taking medicine for migraine will not make it disappear rather will create a dependency on medicines. Whether your migraine started after getting pregnant, or do you have a history of migraine?

I will recommend non-pharmacological steps like relaxation techniques, proper sleep, no stress, etc., to start with and then followed by an analgesic.

I will not recommend tablet Naratriptan to start with.

Kindly reply for a better assessment of your condition. Generally, tablet Naratriptan is taken only when everything has failed.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the update. Now I understand that you have been experiencing migraine for quite some time and have tried all things, including tablet Tylenol (Paracetamol), which has not proved effective.

Tablet Naratriptan is helping you, but I will request you to consult your gynecologist for the exact dose and timings as every patient has different pregnancy conditions. Even though some gynecologists prescribe tablet Naratriptan for some patients, some discourage depending upon the medical history and how pregnancy progresses. So I suggest consulting your treating gynecologist, who will be in the best situation to decide based upon your medical condition, scans, and other pregnancy details.
