Consider generic sumatriptan. It’s often significantly cheaper than brand-name options and provides the same active ingredient. Check with your pharmacy for availability and pricing.
If sumatriptan isn’t effective or causes side effects, discuss alternative migraine treatments with your doctor. Options include other triptans like rizatriptan or zolmitriptan, CGRP inhibitors like erenumab or fremanezumab, or even non-pharmacological approaches such as biofeedback.
Note: Always consult your physician before switching medications or starting new treatments. They can assess your individual needs and recommend the best course of action. Specific drug interactions and contraindications should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Your doctor might also suggest preventative medications, such as beta-blockers, antidepressants, or anti-seizure drugs, if your migraines are frequent or severe. These aim to reduce the frequency and intensity of your migraines, rather than treating individual attacks.
Remember: Price varies based on your location, insurance coverage, and pharmacy. Comparing prices from different pharmacies can help you find the best deal.
