Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Colloid cyst can not be treated with medications. So, if it is large or causing pressure effect, it would require operation.
Ciplar is a medicine used for treating migraine, and has side effects if used for long.
Please upload the MRI brain reports.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
