Migraine Trigger Tracker

Learn your migraine triggers

For some migraine sufferers, certain things can trigger a migraine. Understanding what migraine triggers you may have can help you avoid those triggers in the future. Track foods, lifestyle, and environmental factors to see if there's a pattern.

It is important to note that migraines can start on their own and may not always involve triggers.

Approved Use for Zomig

Zomig is a prescription medicine approved to treat migraine headaches in adults. Only your doctor can determine if Zomig is right for you.

Zomig should only be used where a clear diagnosis of migraine has been established. For a given migraine attack, if you do not respond to the first dose of Zomig, then your doctor will need to determine if you really have a migraine headache before you take a second dose. Zomig is not for the prevention of migraines or for the treatment of hemiplegic or basilar migraines (if you are not sure about this, ask your doctor). Zomig is not for other types of headaches, including cluster headache.
