A member asked:
Have you heard and what do you think of candesartan for migraines. i have daily migraines and my neurologist want to try me on this. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a bad option: Ordinarily candesartan is a medication used to treat high blood pressure. In your case, if typical anti-migraine medications haven't worked, or if you are unable to take them, this medication could treat the underlying cause of your headaches and make them go away. I would try it per your neurologist's recommendations and see if it helps you.
