Midrin is used for abortive relief of migraine and tension headaches. It is a combination medication containing isometheptene (vascular constrictor), acetaminophen (analgesic), and dichloralphenazone (mild sedative).
Midrin is effective for patients with migraine, and especially when taken early in the attack. It can produce rebound headaches when used too frequently and has some sedative effects.
Do they still make midrin? This medication stops my awful migraines when I take it at the onset of a migraine but I was told that they no longer make it. Is this true? I would like to know h how to get a refill. I was prescribed imitrex and it does not work as well as the Midrin
Midrin is no longer manufactured. You should discuss other options with your physician.
This compound med can be made up when prescribed by your doctor. I get it from Ye Olde Pharmacy in Cedarburg, WI.
