I suffered from migraines for years and tried all kinds of prescription drugs. A couple of years ago, a friend told me to try ibuprofen, which I reluctantly did. I did not for a minute think it would work, but every time I feel a migraine coming on, I just take two Ibuprofen and it subsides. Years of suffering and a simple tablet like that sorted it out.

Physicians do not usually suggest ibuprofen for Migraine treatment because there are other much more effective drugs that target Migraine now available. However, Ibuprofen is sometimes used to help with the pain of a Migraine attack. It will not however, abort a Migraine in progress. To know if it's the best medicine for you, seek the advice of a physician or headache specialist.
