The best medications for headaches are typically over-the-counter pain relievers such as:
1. Acetaminophen: This medication can help relieve headache pain by reducing inflammation and blocking pain signals.
2. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Examples include ibuprofen and naproxen sodium.
In some cases, if over-the-counter medications do not provide sufficient relief, a healthcare professional may recommend prescription medications such as:
1. Triptans: These medications, such as sumatriptan (Imitrex) and rizatriptan (Maxalt), work by constricting blood vessels in the brain and blocking pain signals.
2. Muscle relaxants: Medications like cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) or tizanidine (Zanaflex) can help relax tense muscles in the head and neck, providing relief from tension headaches.
3. Antidepressants: Tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline (Elavil) or nortriptyline (Pamelor), can be prescribed for chronic tension headaches to help relax muscles and regulate neurotransmitters that are involved in pain pathways.
