Migraine Medications

Migraine medications are classified into two main types: abortive treatments, which provide relief from acute migraine attacks, and preventive treatments, which reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. These medications can include over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription drugs tailored to individual patient needs.

 

Generic Names of Migraine Medications

Common generic names for migraine medications include sumatriptan, rizatriptan, eletriptan, naratriptan, and frovatriptan for abortive treatments, while topiramate, propranolol, amitriptyline, and valproate are often used for prevention.
