Question : I am on medication for migraine since December 2018. From December 2019 I am taking Betacap TR 40, 1 capsule per day after breakfast. My headache is completely gone by now. I feel absolutely healthy and happy. What to do with the medicine? For how long do I need to continue with the medicine?

You may try reducing the dose

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Thanks for using the 'Ask a Doctor' service. I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concern.

You need to understand that the migraine headaches can recur anytime. There is no specific duration for which you need to continue the medicine. However, since you are doing well, you may try taking half a tablet in the morning for next 10 days or so, and if you remain fine you may try omitting the medicine for now. However, in case the headache returns, chances are that you would need to continue to take the medication.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
