About Triptans for Migraines.
My Doctor said that Triptans are not safe as an acute medicine for Migraines and he advised me to take Naxdom 500 instead. I don't have uncontrolled High BP, or Heart Diseases, and I never had a stroke.. Then what problem did he have in order to prescibe me Triptans. It relieved many people all over the world from Migraine. And the side effects of Triptans are far less than that of Naxdom, right? Also Triptan is a migraine specific medicine, isn't it? Or was he right?

Triptans do have side effects, but Triptans are the drug of choice for acute migraine, so just see the risk benefit ratio to use them
