Migraine medication. Why you should not delay taking your prescription medication when a migraine attack occurs.

A recent study from the American Headache Society finds half the patients who take prescribed migraine medication wait for two or more hours after the attack starts before taking their prescription.

There's good reason to take headache treatment as soon as you need it because the sooner you start the more effective it is. Their studies show that when you wait to medicate a migraine, the prescription may lose its punch providing relief only a third of the time.

Approximately half of all migraineurs do not seek medical advice, and of those who do, only 3-19% are prescribed triptans. The most commonly used current treatment are simple analgesics like Excedrin, which are used by 20-50% of patients.

Current migraine treatment is only effective in 20-30% of patients. Not surprisingly only 20-50% of patients are satisfied with their current treatment.

Migraine medication drugs such as Tramadol HCL are often prescribed as less costly alternatives to higher priced migraine medication.

Migraine medication may come in the form of abortive migraine medication which are designed to stop your headache or migraine after it starts. Imitrex (Sumatriptan) is in this classification.

Migraine medication is also found in the form of preventative medications. These may include drugs which are normally prescribed for other symptoms.
