Is Naratriptan An Effective Medication For Headache In An Elderly Person?
Thank you for your help. My sister is visiting me from Calf. She has spinal stenosis and can t use a pillow when she sleeps. She tried to use a pillow that is much thicker than what she is used to. She woke up this morning with a really bad headache. I m wondering if she can take one of my naratriptan tab 2.5mg? She is 84yrs. Old. She has tried Aleve but still has the headache?

Hello,
Naratriptan is quite effective for headaches associated with a migraine.
You can also try drugs like Tramadol which has got better analgesic action.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
