Abstract

The availability of many over-the-counter drugs that were formerly prescription medications enable patients with migraine to self-medicate easily and delay entry into the appropriate medical management. The potential for adverse effects, drug interactions, and analgesic rebound headaches can often be complications that hinder treatment. Over-the-counter products force the patient to employ a less effective step-care approach as opposed to evidence-based guidelines.

摘要

许多以前需凭处方购买的非处方药现在可以买到，这使得偏头痛患者能够轻松地自行用药，并延迟进入适当的医疗管理阶段。不良反应、药物相互作用和止痛药物反弹性头痛的可能性往往会成为阻碍治疗的并发症。非处方药迫使患者采用效果较差的逐步护理方法，而不是基于循证的指南。
