If ibuprofen doesn’t work for a migraine, consider switching to a tretinoin or ergotamine caffeine, and seek medical attention if you don’t see relief.
For mild to moderate migraines, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen are preferred. For recurrent migraines, and severe migraines, oral tretinoin medications such as rizatriptan benzoate tablets, or oral ergotamine caffeine are preferred for treatment.
There are also calcium channel blockers, flunarizine, and beta-blockers, metoprolol, which are clinically effective.
Migraine is a chronic disease with recurrent episodes of vascular throbbing headache due to vascular nerve dysfunction. Attacks are often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
There is no cure for this disease, and currently we need to rely on medication and a good lifestyle to minimize the attacks. It is very important to maintain a good mood in daily life and not to eat food and drugs that can easily trigger migraine, such as chocolate, birth control pills, nitroglycerin, and so on.
If oral ibuprofen is ineffective in migraine, please consult the neurology department for further diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
