General Information
How do I use MigraSpray?
MigraSpray® is a comprehensive approach for the relief
of migraine headaches (MigraSpray® can also be effective in the pain
and symptoms associated with menstrual cycles as well as tension
headaches and hangovers). Use it for rapid relief of a migraine
attack or use it daily to dramatically reduce the onset
of migraine headache symptoms.
Relief of a MIGRAINE ATTACK:
At the earliest symptom of a migraine attack administer ten full
sprays of MigraSpray® under the tongue and hold for at least 30
seconds before swallowing. If you have not experienced relief
of your migraine within ten minutes of your first dose, repeat
the dose a second time.
Daily Use For Reducing the Frequency fo the Onset of Migraine Symptoms:
Every day, either in the morning or before bed, administer 10
full sprays of MigraSpray® under the tongue and hold for at least
30 seconds before swallowing. If your migraines generally occur
in the early morning hours we recommend using MigraSpray before
bedtime. Conversely, if your migraines generally occur in the
afternoon or evenings we recommend using MigraSpray® first thing
in the morning.
If ten sprays is too large an amount of fluid at one time split
the dose into two parts of five sprays each (both parts of the
dose are held under the tongue for a full thirty seconds).
How important is it that I hold a dose
of MigraSpray under my tongue?
Very important. In order for MigraSpray to be effective, all doses
need to be held under the tongue for a minimum of thirty seconds.
It may be helpful to keep your head at a slight backwards tilt after
administering MigraSpray.
How long will it take to feel relief?
A recent clinical study showed that MigraSpray provides relief from
migraine attacks in less than 7 minutes for 88% of those studied.
When using MigraSpray continually each day for prevention you should
notice a reduction in the severity and/or frequency of your migraine
headaches or complete elimination of migraine in less than 60 days.
Will MigraSpray work on other types of
headaches?
MigraSpray has been formulated to provide relief for migraine headaches
however many users report that MigraSpray is also effective for
the relieving of menstrual migraines, tension headaches, and hangover
headaches. The efficacy of MigraSpray when used for relief of headaches
other than migraine is unclear.
I always get headaches right before and
during my period. Is there a connection?
Sixty percent of women who suffer from migraine headaches report
an increase in headache frequency during their menstrual period.
This could be a result of varied estrogen levels. Use MigraSpray
each day to dramatically reduce or even eliminate menstrual migraine
headaches and other pain and discomfort associated with your menstrual
cycle.
Side Effects
Are there any side effects I should be
concerned about?
No side effects have been reported from the usage of MigraSpray®.
Are there any drug interactions I should
be concerned about?
No drug interactions have been reported from the usage of MigraSpray®.
Can I use MigraSpray® when I'm pregnant?
MigraSpray® is not recommended for women who are lactating or are
pregnant. Women who are pregnant or lactating should not use MigraSpray
unless they have been instructed to do so by their physician.
Will MigraSpray make me sleepy?
No.
Administration
Why is MigraSpray® administered under the
tongue?
The delivery system of MigraSpray enhances bioavailability by allowing
the solution to be absorbed directly into the blood stream through
the mucous membrane under the tongue without degradation from exposure
to the gastrointestinal system and liver.
Feverfew
I have used products containing the herb
feverfew before and only experienced a little improvement. Why does
it work so well in MigraSpray®?
The formulation of MigraSpray® enhances both the efficacy and time
to relief of feverfew, because it is administered under the tongue,
the active ingredients bypass the gastrointestinal system, including
the liver, (where much degradation can occur) and directly enter
the blood stream.
What is Feverfew?
The aromatic plant known as feverfew (Pyrethrum parthenium) has
been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments. In recent
years clinical studies have enhanced its status as a medicinal herb
and its popularity as a lay remedy for migraine prevention. One
of the agents of feverfew, parthenolide, is believed to be a natural
anti-inflammatory.
Migraine Headaches
What is a migraine headache?
Recent scientific evidence suggests that migraine headaches begin
with a release of proteins by nerve endings in the fibrous outer
covering of the brain (called the dura mater) resulting in the dilation
of the cranial blood vessels following an initial contraction of
these vessels. During a migraine, inflammation of the tissue surrounding
the brain exacerbates the pain.
Unlike most other types of headache, migraines may have many additional
symptoms. Migraines are sometimes preceded by visual auras. Following
the onset of a migraine attack, symptoms may include throbbing,
nausea, sensitivity to light and/or sound, difficulty in speech
and semi-hemispheric head pain. A migraine attack can last for hours
or days. Approximately 75% of migraine sufferers are female and
both the etiology and incidence of migraine attacks vary with the
individual.
What causes migraine headaches?
Migraines may be caused by a number of things. Frequently the cause
is unknown, but triggers may include stress, anxiety, depression,
particular foods or alcohol. Hormones are also common triggers -
many women experience migraines with changes in their estrogen levels
during menstruation.
How many people are affected by migraine
headaches?
It is estimated that between 28 and 32 million Americans, or nearly
12% of the population, suffer from migraine headaches. According
to the American Council for Headache Education nearly 6% of all
men and upwards of 18% of all women suffer from migraine headaches.
Is a migraine headache simply a severe
headache?
No. There are other forms of headaches such as tension headaches,
which may actually be as severe as some migraines. The following
symptoms may accompany migraine headache:
1. Intense pain, frequently throbbing, and/or localized on one
side of the head
2. Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
3. Sensitivity to noise
4. Nausea
5. Vomiting
6. Disturbed vision
7. Slurred speech
Some of these symptoms may also be indicative of other more serious
conditions. If you are not certain that you are a migraine sufferer
consult your physician.
Are there different types of migraine?
The two most prevalent types of migraine headache are migraines
with aura and migraine without aura, the latter of the two being
more common.
What is a migraine aura?
Most often a migraine aura consists of disturbances such as flashing
lights, visual distortion, and spots before the eyes.
