Patients experiencing migraines, tension headaches, or other manageable headache conditions

Summary:
Yes — if medically appropriate, your physician may prescribe medication as part of your treatment plan.


How It Works

  1. During your visit, a board-certified, licensed physician will review your symptoms and history

  2. If a prescription is appropriate, it will be sent to your preferred pharmacy

  3. You’ll receive a prompt to confirm pharmacy details and complete payment directly through the dispensing pharmacy


Types of Medications That May Be Prescribed

  • Acute pain relievers (e.g., triptans, NSAIDs)

  • Preventive medications (e.g., beta-blockers, anti-seizure meds)

  • Anti-nausea medications (if applicable)

  • Lifestyle or non-medication strategies may also be recommended

Note: Some medications require follow-up or in-person evaluation depending on symptom severity.
