Dr. Paul Grin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

See OBGYN specialist: There are seven medications (e.g. triptans) that are better for treating migraine in pregnancy. However, no drug, including over-the-counter medication, should ever be prescribed without consulting the patient's obstetrician. See OBGYN specialist for migraine management.
