Migraine Gem of the Day - Preventive, Abortive, Rescue

There are three main categories of Migraine medications:

1. Preventive medications are taken daily to reduce the frequency and severity of Migraines.
2. Abortive medications are taken when a Migraine occurs. They work to stop the Migrainous process, thus stopping the symptoms as well.
3. Rescue medications are taken for a Migraine attack when abortive medications fail or can't be used.
