Hello,

Since you are taking Vasograine so I am assuming that you are suffering from Migraine.

As you are having repeated severe headaches you should discuss with your doctor about starting either Amitriptlyine or Flunarizine. Both of them can be very helpful in preventing future Migraine attacks. For controlling acute attacks, any NSAIDs like Ibuprofen can be useful. Vasograin should not be taken daily.

These medicines can decrease the severity as well as frequency of migraine attacks.

Most patients start reporting improvement within 1-2 weeks of starting the treatment.

Please feel free to discuss further if you have any other query.

Kind regards

Vikas
