Is There An Alternative Medication With Similar Efficacy To Fioricet For Migraines?

Alternative to fioricet (severe allergy) for migraine? I have had migraines and was prescribed fioricet but became severely allergic to it by the 4th dose (itching, swollen lips/eyes, hives) and cannot tolerate the medication. Is there an alternative medication with similar efficacy for migraines?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the most common medicine used for migraine is Ergotamine preparation but condition is it should be confirmed Migraine, Migraine is functional disease more or less and headache can be subsides even without the medicine too, just try to come out of the condition of functional disorders hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
