I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
Migranil must be stopped during the Pregnancy as it can lead to severe fetal malformations.
About 80% cases of migraine are known to improve by themselves in Pregnancy,without any medication.In the remaining cases,Ergot derivatives(Migranil) and Triptans must not be given.If the medicines are to be given anyway,acetaminophen and opioid medicines should be judiciously used.
Please consult your treating doctor soon,regarding this.
