Short term use only: This combo of medication has been used to help with headaches, however it's constant use or daily use is not typically recommended since the potential for rebound headaches (headaches that come on after stopping this medication) goes up significantly. See a headache specialist for better treatment options.

It is: A medication for acute migraine attacks. If you noticed that this doesn't work, pls tell your dr as other meds like triptans can be used for acute attacks. If you have very frequent migraine attacks, you may even need preventative med taken daily such as topiramate or propranolol. Good luck.
