{"id":3554,"count":15,"description":"Migraine affects roughly 12% of adults globally, with women three times more often affected than men. Modern management uses two strategies in parallel: acute \/ abortive treatment of individual attacks, and prophylactic treatment to reduce frequency in patients with frequent attacks. The MedsBase Migraine Treatment catalogue carries the full range \u2014 see also our broader \u0391\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9-\u0397\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03c1\u03b1\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac<\/a> category for adjuncts. All products are supplied by WHO-GMP \u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03b7\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03ad\u03c2<\/strong>.\n\nTriptans \u2014 abortive first-line for moderate-severe attacks.<\/strong> Triptans (5-HT1B\/1D agonists) abort migraine attacks by reversing the trigeminovascular cascade. Take at first sign of headache \u2014 efficacy decreases significantly if delayed. Sumatriptan (the original triptan, oral and nasal forms) is stocked as Sumitop<\/a> \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 Suminat<\/a>. Rizatriptan (faster onset, ODT formulation) as Rizact<\/a> \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 Rizatop<\/a>. Zolmitriptan (oral and nasal options) as Zolmist \u0391\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03b6\u03cc\u03bb \u03a1\u03b9\u03bd\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2 \u03a7\u03c1\u03ae\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2<\/a> (useful for vomiting patients) and Zolitas ODS<\/a>. Naratriptan (slower onset, longer duration \u2014 useful for menstrual migraine prophylaxis) as Maxtan<\/a>. Triptan combination with NSAID (sumatriptan + naproxen, sometimes with caffeine) as Headset<\/a>. Limit to \u2264 10 triptan-doses per month to avoid medication-overuse headache. Contraindications: ischaemic heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, history of stroke or TIA, hemiplegic migraine.\n\nNSAIDs and adjuncts for mild-moderate attacks.<\/strong> Naproxen 500 mg (longer half-life than ibuprofen \u2014 useful for migraine attacks) is available as Naprosyn<\/a>. NSAIDs alone may suffice for mild attacks; can be combined with triptan for inadequate triptan response. Selective COX-2 alternatives are catalogued in our \u03a6\u03ac\u03c1\u03bc\u03b1\u03ba\u03bf \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u0391\u03bd\u03b1\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd\u03c6\u03b9\u03c3\u03b7 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03a0\u03cc\u03bd\u03bf<\/a> \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b7\u03b3\u03bf\u03c1\u03af\u03b1.\n\nMigraine prophylaxis \u2014 for frequent attacks (\u2265 4 per month) or disabling attacks.<\/strong> Beta-blockers are the most-evidence-based prophylactic class: propranolol is the workhorse, available as Inderal<\/a> and the long-acting Inderal LA<\/a> for once-daily dosing. Anticonvulsants: topiramate (Topicon \u2014 also catalogued under epilepsy) and sodium valproate (Encorate Chrono<\/a> \u2014 avoid in women of childbearing potential due to teratogenicity) are second-line. Calcium-channel-blocker flunarizine (a once-daily evening tablet, well-tolerated long-term but can cause weight gain and rarely depression) as Sibelium<\/a>. Topiramate as Topicon<\/a>. Sumatriptan-based and naratriptan short prophylaxis can be used for menstrual migraine.\n\nOther.<\/strong> Leemigran<\/a> is a combination ergotamine-caffeine product still used in selected patients where triptans are contraindicated or unavailable.\n\n\u03a0\u03ce\u03c2 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03bb\u03ad\u03be\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5.<\/strong> Mild attack \u2192 NSAID (naproxen, ibuprofen) \u00b1 antiemetic. Moderate-severe attack \u2192 triptan; switch triptan or add NSAID if first triptan fails. Vomiting \u2192 nasal triptan (Zolmist), ODT triptan (Zolitas, Rizact ODT), or rectal NSAID. Frequent attacks \u2192 daily prophylaxis: propranolol if no asthma \/ heart block; topiramate if needs weight loss; flunarizine if BP-blocker contraindicated. Refractory or disabling attacks \u2192 consider CGRP-class biologic (not stocked here; specialist-only).\n\n\u03a3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc.<\/strong> Triptan + SSRI \/ SNRI combination has theoretical serotonin-syndrome risk \u2014 clinically rare but worth knowing. Avoid triptans in pregnancy (limited safety data; prefer paracetamol and lifestyle measures). Hemiplegic migraine and migraine with brainstem aura are absolute contraindications to triptans. Sudden-onset thunderclap headache, headache with neurological deficit, fever and neck stiffness, or new headache pattern after age 50 needs same-day medical evaluation rather than self-treatment.\n\nAll MedsBase Migraine Treatment products ship from WHO-GMP \u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03b7\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03ad\u03c2<\/strong> \u03bc\u03b5 \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03ba\u03c1\u03b9\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03c3\u03c5\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03cd\u03c0\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03a0\u03bf\u03bb\u03b9\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u0395\u03b3\u03b3\u03cd\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2 \u0395\u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u03ae\u03c2<\/a>.\n\n2026 buyer's guide:<\/strong> \u0394\u03b5\u03af\u03c4\u03b5 \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd shortlist \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2 Best Migraine Medications 2026<\/a> \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac\u03be\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2, \u03c0\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03ba\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c5\u03b3\u03ba\u03c1\u03af\u03c3\u03b5\u03c9\u03bd, \u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u03b9\u03ce\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2 \u03b4\u03bf\u03c3\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03b3\u03af\u03b1\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bc\u03b2\u03bf\u03c5\u03bb\u03ad\u03c2 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03bb\u03bf\u03b3\u03ae\u03c2.","link":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/migraine-treatment\/","name":"\u0398\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1\u03c0\u03b5\u03af\u03b1 \u0397\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03c1\u03b1\u03bd\u03af\u03b1\u03c2","slug":"migraine-treatment","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":3342,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/3554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/3342"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=3554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
