5Treatment Options for Acid Reflux
Headache Medications
If headaches often occur and disrupt your life, it is important to consult your doctor to seek proper treatments. Some prescription medications can help reduce the severity and frequency of headaches. These include:
– Ergot derivatives: They work by making blood vessels become constricted, thus easing symptoms of headaches.
– Triptans: These drugs can target serotonin receptors in the brain to alleviate headaches.
– CGRP antagonists, including rimegepant, ubrogepant, or erenumabaooe, can serve as gene-related peptide receptor antagonists to limit or prevent pain signals.
– Steroids, also known as corticosteroids, are anti-inflammatory medications that can interfere with the progression of headaches and prevent them from occurring in the first place. [5]
