## The short answer

Imigran Recovery 50mg is a specific pharmacy migraine product. Supply depends on the pharmacist confirming that the migraine history and safety criteria fit the pack. Its availability does not establish that every migraine treatment is suitable without prescription.

## Understanding your options

Migraine can cause recurrent headache, nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. A new or unusual headache should not simply be treated as a familiar migraine.

Acute treatment aims to manage an attack; preventive treatment aims to reduce future attacks. Tablets, dissolving forms and nasal products may suit different situations.

## Who may be suitable?

Discuss cardiovascular conditions, pregnancy, other medicines and how often attacks occur. The exact medicine determines suitability.

## Side effects and precautions

Frequent use of acute headache medicines can contribute to medication-overuse headache. Ask how often your treatment can be used.

## When to get help

A sudden extremely severe headache, weakness, confusion, seizure or new speech problems requires emergency care.

For a life-threatening emergency, call 999. For urgent advice, contact the appropriate local NHS service.

## Progress and follow-up

Keep a headache diary including symptoms, treatment days and effect. Frequent or disabling attacks merit a prevention review.

## Questions to ask

Does my established migraine history meet the pharmacy product’s supply criteria?

- Do I need acute treatment, prevention or both?

- What should I do if nausea makes tablets difficult?

- How many treatment days should trigger a review?

## Treatment approaches

### Triptan tablets

An acute migraine tablet is intended to treat an attack rather than prevent every future episode. A confirmed migraine pattern, interaction check and advice on treatment frequency are important. Do not treat a new severe headache as an ordinary attack.

### Melt-in-the-mouth triptan

A dissolving format may be easier for some people to take, but the formulation does not automatically mean faster or more effective relief. Confirm the exact instructions, especially if vomiting is part of your migraine.

### Triptan nasal spray

A nasal formulation can be considered when a tablet format is difficult. It has product-specific technique and repeat-use limits. Ask for a demonstration or clear instructions rather than assuming it is used like an allergy spray.
