Suggest Alternative Medication For Fioricet Taken For Migraines By An Elderly Person
I have been taking fioricet for migraines for over 20 years (on an as needed basis), averaging about 5-10 pills over a 2-3 month period. I am now told that at age 65 i can no longer take the fioricet because of my age. Why is this, and what alternative medications can I look at?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the migraine and you are taking medicine then let me tell you that migraine is kind of functional disease, in my opinion Ergotamine preparation can be tried for this hope this information helps.
