Drugs called triptans that are used to treat migraines and cluster headaches can also treat menstrual migraines. They shrink blood vessels and fight pain. You'll probably need to take medicine 1 to 2 days before your period starts until it's over. Some women need to take both a triptan and an NSAID.
Women with heavy menstrual periods and fibroids are often prescribed hormonal medications to try to reduce bleeding and regulate the menstrual cycle. These medications will not shrink fibroids or make them grow at a faster rate. If the medication has not improved your bleeding after three months, consult your doctor.
