It is taken when an attack starts and is not used to prevent migraines. Most people start on 50mg; this 100mg tablet is for people who the pharmacist assesses need the higher dose to treat an attack. At Ways Pharmacy it is supplied only after a pharmacist has checked your migraine history, warning signs, heart and circulation health, blood pressure and other medicines, and confirmed that it is suitable for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to access this medicine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/app.nymoclinic.co.uk\/public\/pgd-book\/ways-pharmacy-holborn\/398cad27-8237-4933-b010-319a5ddf42c2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStart your free online assessment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.
