The pain medicine helped reduce Carolyn's pain. However, it also made her want to sleep. She had to plan all her activities around the headaches.
Recently, all that changed for Carolyn. She began taking the drug flurbiprofen (floor-by-'pro-fin). Now she can eat and drink what she wants. And she can sleep late if she needs more rest.
Doctor Solomon says flurbiprofen provides a new life to those who suffer from migraine headaches. It can be taken every day to prevent the headaches from starting. Or it can be taken to reduce pain after the headaches begin. Doctors must order flurbiprofen for their patients with migraine headaches.
