4. CALCIUM BLOCKERS (VERAPAMIL)

These medications help prevent blood vessel constriction, which may occur early in a headache, and also influence serotonin. They are occasionally effective but often cause constipation and allergic reactions. Verapamil (Calan, Isoptin, Verelan) is the most effective calcium blocker. (See Chapter 6 for a full discussion.)

If the first- and second-line therapies don’t help, there are a few more possible avenues to take.

5. FEVERFEW

Feverfew is a relatively safe herb that may help prevent migraine and daily headaches. There are a number of preparations available. (See Chapters 6 and 14 for details.)
