Headache Medicine


By Rose Williams

When people get a headache they normally start looking for a medication that can stop their headache from becoming any worse. As there are so many different kinds of headache treatment to choose from, people have to think about what they want the medicine to accomplish.

The headache treatments that can be found at the supermarkets and pharmacies come in many forms. You will find that there are tablets you can take, tablets that dissolve under your tongue, nasal sprays, suppositories, and injections that you administer yourself. All of these headache treatment are known to work well at preventing your headache from developing into something much worse.

When you go for headache treatment on a supermarket shelf, one of the deciding factors is how fast-acting you want the medication to be. We are generally used to taking pills and capsules to cure whatever ailments we have. We take these types of medications because they are easy to take and easy to take with us.

While these types of headache medicine do work for many people, it takes a little time for the medicine to take effect, which is why anyone who has a severe headache, like a migraine, will not gain advantage from these tablets or capsules. Furthermore the different fast-developing headaches will not do well either with these medications.

Anyone who has a tension type headache, a slow-acting migraine attack or a migraine attack without nausea and vomiting, can use these tablets. There are tablets that you can use that get absorbed more quickly into your bloodstream. These so-called 'sub-lingual' tablets or lozenges are placed under the tongue, where they are absorbed by the membrane that lines the mouth. These types of headache medicine work a little faster than normal tablets as they are absorbed directly into the bloodstream.

The other way that you can stop your headache is with a nasal spray. These sprays can provide you with fast-acting relief. They are good for headache sufferers who need fast relief and they are also good for people who become nauseous. You may have to test various kinds before you get good results, but these headache treatments are still very good.

The best possible pain relief can be got quickly from self injected drugs. However, if you take this kind headache medicine you will need to take special care at first, so that you don't inject yourself with too much of the headache drug.

Another thing to think about is whether you can put up with the discomfort that you may feel when you try to inject yourself. The possible embarrassment about giving yourself an injection in public with your headache medicine is also something that you will need to think about.

There is a huge amount of headache medication for those who are looking for ways to stop their headaches. The best way to find an efficacious medicine is to test different items in order to see what works best for you.
