    Using Targeted Meds for New Headache Patients

    By Kerrie | November 9, 2005

    In what appears to be today’s theme, James Cottrill from Relieve Migraine Headache blogged about getting the most effective headache treatment sooner in your hunt for headache meds.

    He cites a study on how doctors treat new headache patients. Some start with inexpensive, less effective and non-targeted meds. Others jump right in to specific headache treatment, like triptans for migraine. The results show that patients whose docs treat headache aggressively from the start have a better eventual outcome.

    Read James’ post for details.
