Any doctors out there or anyone who can explain how migraleve tablets work?
Question:
Answers:
migraleve pink contain two painkillers, paracetamol and codeine, plus an anti-emetic, buclizine. The Buclizine is the medication that stops the nausea and vomiting associated with classic migraine, the painkillers stop it from hurting. Migraleve yellow just contains paracetamol and codeine, additional pain relief if you still need it 4 hours later.
Migraine is a very specific type of headache caused by dilation of the major blood vessels feeding the brain, when they dilate they put pressure on the nerve endings of the membrane covering the brain causing intense pain and nausea, plus visual disturbance and auditory sensitivity, they are very different from simple headaches. Sadly it is also very trendy for people to call a bad simple headache a migraine when it isnt, which is infuriating for true migraine sufferers.
I'm no doctor but I had them explained to me once. When you get a migraine, your stomache stops working properly, therefore it does not digest 'normal' painkillers and they do not work.
By taking the pink Migralieve tablets first, they help by stopping symptoms and making your stamoache start to work again... the yellow tablets are the actual painkillers which will work if you still have your pain four hours later as the pink ones have made your stomache able to break them down.
Hope this helps.
