throbbing head...can I take the yellow migraleve tablets without taking the pink ones first?

[ssd]

sent dh out to get migraleve tablets he brought back the yellow ones, its says on them take the pink ones first but I dont have any...can I skip the pink and take the yellow? have also taken 2 nurofen migraine tablets that havent touched it

I didnt think the active ingredient in migraleve was sumatriptan?
Not in any i’ve seen.
Though boots do now sell these otc.

25 years of migraine suffering here!
Migraleve doesnt work for me.

Echoing other- I would take 3 dispersible aspirin in water, and 2 paracetamol with a small, strong cup of coffee.
(Don't take Nurofen/ibuprofen iv you are taking the aspirin)
You can buy the anti sickness tablet, Buccastem, over the counter in a pharmacy. You pop it under your top lip to absorb. It s the same anti sickness tablet you get in Migraleve pink.

I can't take sumatriptan so i try and take anything i can!

misspops are you not allowed anytging prescribed?

The Dr ‘prescribed’ me dispersible aspirin !
Regarding preventatives- I have RX’s for propanolol, pizotifen... both make me feel inhuman! Never been offered anything else. Had a CT scan many years ago. The migraine centre in London is a charity that offers appointments - that’s my next step, as there are new medications available that the NHS will not prescribe.

misspops change docs!! My gp has changed my migraine medication multiple times until i found one that suited me!
I even asked to try one ( an expensive one) that was recommended to me and she agreed, life changing!
She arranged for me to see a neurologist to get me on preventive medication.
I no longer have migraines every week.
I Used to take propanol, i was told the dosages the gp’s are allowed to prescribe do not do anything for migraines.
