In response to:

Hi Jill, If you are unable to take triptans there are a few other options. Midrin is an Isometheptene compound and can be used to abort a Migraine attack. Ergotamines such as Migranal nasal spray and DHE-45 injectibles. Fioricet is a rescue medication, and does not abort a Migraine attack. You can read more about the differences in these drugs in this article: Preventive, Abortive, and Rescue Medications - What's the Difference? I hope this helps, Nancy
