During pregnancy, medication use is discouraged unless absolutely necessary. The safety of any medication in pregnancy cannot be assured. Before using any medication for headache, a physician should always be consulted before using medication, including over-the-counter medicatoins. A non-medicinal treatment program can be effective in pregnancy such as biofeedback.
