hi
thanks for using HCM.
Ibuprofen can be taken to treat acute migraine headache.
it is to be taken on when required basis and not on regular basis.
If you are suffering from frequent migraine then you should consider taking preventive medicine such as propranolol/ flunarezine/ newer antiepileptic such as topiramate/ sodium valproate. It is also important that you identify the triggers and avoid them .
