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.
Monitor your menstrual cycle so that you know when to expect your period, keep track of how heavy your flow is and the number of sanitary towels or tampons used. Take over-the-counter medication such as ibuprofen which will help to reduce flow and relieve menstrual pain.
