Migraine Headaches

Migraine headaches are very common among many Americans. Migraines are causes to changes within the brain and the blood vessels that surrounds the brain.

Many people have different experiences with Migraines. Some episodes of these headaches can last from four to seventy two hours and can occur everyday or on a yearly basis. They typically occur in more women than man.

There are several medications that can be prescribed to help relieve these symptoms such as :

Sumatriptan

Zolmitriptan

Eletriptan

Naratriptan

Rizatriptan

Frovatriptan

Almotriptan

Ergotamine

Dihydroergotamine

Acentaminophen-insometheptene-dichloralphenazone

Prochorperzine

Promethazine

Once headaches are under control, the prognosis is very good. Patience is key because it may take several attempts of medication trails before they are brought under control. Treating a migraine headache is like an art in some respects. There is no magic formula for preventing or curing them.
