A member asked:
Is there any difference in the migraine medication pizotifen and sanomigrain. does one work better than the other. what does generic mean.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Migraine medication: There is no standard treatment for migraine, so the choice of medication should always be made on an individual basis. Pizotifen is a trade name for Sandomigran, so it is the same medication. Pizotifen is a generic name (does not include a trademark or brand name).
