This page is not a prescription
It does not tell you what to take or how much. Only a clinician who has assessed you can do that. Call 112 if you feel severely unwell.
What a clinician considers
Your attack pattern, how often you already take pain relief, pregnancy, and cardiovascular history.
Common examples
- Acute migraine treatments
- Preventive migraine treatments
