Prevention of migraine
The first consideration in stopping migraines should be avoiding the triggers. The technique is more effective if you have encountered several migraines hence familiar with triggers. It is easier to manage migraines before the pain advances. If a preventive drug does not curb the headache, it will at least reduce the pain or duration of the migraine. Preventive therapy also aims at reducing frequency of the migraine.
Common preventive drugs include;
- Magnesium citrate
- Riboflavin
- Coenzyme Q10
- Antidepressants
- Vitamin B-12 supplements
- Herbal extracts
Only use one preventive medication at a time. Medication overuse or mixing chemical components can cause more damage. Most supplements are available online but you have to first check with a doctor.
