I think I have bucastem? WTF. It's sat behind my top lip dissolving and tastes disgusting and doesn't seem to be doing much.

How can I make it taste better? Is there an alternative?

It's for migraine.

Are u taking it with other migraine medication? Or just the bucastem? Usually it's to combat the nausea element of a migraine not to stop the migraine.

I take maxolan for nausea that comes with my migraines. I find it excellent.

Yea that's what it's for. I have pain relief. Didn't explain that in my haste.

Ondansetron is far better but harder to obtain.

If it does the job does it matter what it tastes like?

Yes because the tablet takes about 20 minutes to dissolve behind your upper lip.
