When looking for an over-the counter (OTC) drug to relieve your migraine symptoms, do you get confused by the aisles of pain relievers? There are so many different brands with so many different choices and they come in all sorts of forms. You might wonder, what is the “magic formula” in these over-the-counter migraine drugs? How does it differ from the regular pain relievers? It is interesting to note that by comparing the active ingredients in the drugs, you might find no difference at all. So why are these drug companies repackaging products they already have on the shelf, calling it a different name and giving the impression that it's something new? Well, these drugs were approved by FDA to be migraine specific drugs and therefore required different labellings. So even though the active ingredients are the same, there are differences in the indications/use, dosage/directions and labeled warning statements.

The effectiveness of the above drugs varies from person to person. It may work for you or it may not. These over-the-counter migraine drugs are more likely to relief migraine sufferers with mild to moderate pain. To increase the chances of it helping, you need to take them at the onset of a migraine attack. Do not wait for the pain to escalate. Do give the drugs a fair number of tries, lets say for three attacks. If it fails to give adequate relief majority of the time, then switch medication.
