Hi
thanks for your choosing us
there is alternative to Tylenol available
Tab vasograin a multi ingredient product that contains ergotamine, acetaminophen, caffeine and prochlorperazine but it has got more side effects
my advise to you as follows
1. Indentify and Avoid trigger factor
2.Rest in quiet and dark room
3. Start with acetaminophen 650 mg followed by rizatriptan 5 mg that can be repeated after 2 hours if pain persist
4. For recurrent attacks you can take flunarizine prophylactically
Hope this information will help you
