The symptomatic management of migraine commonly administers simple analgesics (e.g., aspirin and acetaminophen), combination analgesics (e.g., Midrin and Excedrin Migraine), butalbital-containing medications, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) including naproxen sodium (Anaprox, Aleve), meclofenamate (Meclomen), ibuprofen (Advil), flurbiprofen (Ansaid), and ketorolac (Toradol).[44,67] In addition to the drugs mentioned above, muscle relaxants, antispasticity medications, dopamine antagonists, corticosteroids, and opioids may be suggested as backup agents when other medications do not provide headache relief.[44]
