Hello Meme
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I understand you are in pains.
Many drugs can be used to treat migraine.These are in 2 categories: pain-relieving drugs taken during crisis and preventive drugs taken regularly and on daily basis.However, the treatment strategy depends on the severity and frequency of your symptoms.
The response of migraine on paracetamol and codeine combination like klipal is good.You may take it to reduce your symptoms.If the pain is still unbearable, you may associate it with a glucocorticoid like prednisolone but not to be taken for long to avoid side effects.Other drugs that can be used are triptan, egots.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
