A member asked:
I've just had a migraine today and was wondering is it ok to take my preventative going to bed as normal along with my pain medication ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Migraine Rx: It makes sense to use the migraine pain reliever and the preventer on the same day. It is ideal that the reliever would not be needed, hopefully the preventer can reduce this somewhat. Ultimately your answer depends on what the medicines are, but most migraine treatments are used in just this way.
