A member asked:

Is ibuprofen the best medicine for migraine?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Depends: The BEST pill for a migraine patient could be DIFFERENT for every patient under discussion & defined by what BEST works for THAT person. Make sense? There's no such thing as the UNIVERSAL MIGRAINE PILL that works best for EVERYONE. But, THE TRIPTANS is what we would say would be the GOLD STANDARD for treating migraine sufferers.

Mediocre: If you wish to abort a migraine, best approach is either triptans, or Cambia. Naproxen works better than ibuprofen, but latter is effective in milder ha's. Have found Excedrin Migraine may work on occasion.
