There are many types of drugs that can prevent migraine in sufferers who have frequent attacks. There would be little point in taking tablets every day if the attacks occur only once a year. Even monthly attacks, particularly when mild or responsive to simple remedies, should not require regular medication. It is when attacks occur several times a month and are interfering with life’s ordinary activities that daily tablets may restore a patient to a normal life.1. There can be little doubt that there is a familial tendency although its strength and the way in which migraine is inherited are still debatable. No drugs can alter this susceptibility.2. There are predisposing or provocative factors which trigger an attack in a sensitive individual. These include factors such as stress, tension, or depression and drugs are very effective in relieving these factors.3.   Drugs can interfere with the biochemical changes that occur before or during a migraine attack
