Why Using Over The Counter Medicine For Migraines Might Be A Bad Idea

Migraines are extremely severe headaches that come complete with severe head pain and other symptoms such as blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lightheadedness, as well as sensitivity to both light and sound. It’s not just a simple headache that can be “lived with”, and more often than not a migraine does not respond well to over the counter medicine such as Advil, Aleve, Ibuprofen, or Excedrin because these types of over the counter medicine are not made to treat migraines.

Defining Over the Counter Medicine?

By definition in the United States over the counter medicine (also commonly referred to as OTC drugs) is basically medication that is deemed to be safe by the FDA for the purpose of being sold directly to the purchaser without the need of a prescription being written by a physician. The Federal Trade Commission (FDA) does require that all over the counter medicine produces are labeled with an approved drug facts label in order to properly educate consumers of the active and inactive ingredients, indications and purpose, safety warnings, as well as directions for use of the medications. Over the counter medicine such as Advil, Aleve, Ibuprofen, or Excedrin were intended to be used for temporary pain, relief of fever, or perhaps the relief of inflammation, but were never actually intended to be used as a treatment for migraine, especially if the migraine sufferer experiences recurrent or frequent migraines.

Migraine Treatment

The treatment options for migraine sufferers have come a long way in within the past decade. No longer do individuals have to rely solely on over the counter medicine or prescription medications in order to deal with their pain.  Some of the most common and successful migraine treatment options that do provide symptom relief are the use of massage, chiropractic care, biofeedback, or even acupuncture. These therapies have been proven as successful migraine treatment options and often will help with prevention much more than any over the counter medicine could. Another option to over the counter medicine in the world of migraine treatment is the use of supplements. Supplements such as Magnesium, 5 – Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin B2, as well as many well-known herbs have proven highly successful in both migraine prevention and treatment.

“My migraines are now a rare occurrence”

“I am thrilled that this is not a prescription”

“After suffering with migraines for years, and trying this product, instead of having 2 migraines each week, I have had only one in a month.

I am thrilled that this is not a prescription, but supplements that are not harmful to my body and work. I have been taking it now for 2 months.”
