There are several Migraine specific Pharmaceuticals, allopathic medical protocols on the market that patients might use as a temporary fix during their search for a Professional that can diagnose accurately the cause of their chronic condition and resolve.

Vyepti (eptinezumab-jjmr) is used to treat symptoms not the cause of your migraine but as a temporary measure these are facts you should know : to try to prevent migraines as a symptom it is given as an IV infusion every 3 months (four times a year). Vyepti infusion helps reduce monthly migraine days for chronic migraines and episodic migraines in adults so that you may have more migraine-free days.
Vyepti infusion works by blocking a protein called calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which is involved in migraines. CGRP levels increase during a migraine attack and may also be involved in the start of a migraine. It is thought that by blocking CGRP, Vyepti reduces monthly migraine days. Cost: $1800au (full cost); $30 (PBS pricing); $7.30 (PBS pricing with a concession card).
