what type of magnesium for migraines
A 2002 study demonstrated that intravenous magnesium sulfate helped relieve migraines in patients with or without an “aura,” and a 1996 German trial showed that a single daily dose of 600 mg oral trimagnesium citrate decreased the frequency of migraine attacks by over 40 percent among the study's subjects.agnesium is an essential mineral that has demonstrated some benefit in treating and preventing migraine headache. The Institute of Medicine’s recommended daily allowances for magnesium range from 30 to 420 milligrams, depending on your age, gender and pregnancy status.
Two beta blockers are currently FDA approved for use in the preventative treatment of migraine: propranolol (Inderal and Inderal LA) and timolol (Blocadren). Three other beta blockers are also used, although these drugs are not approved by the FDA for indication in migraine. These three agents are: atenolol (Tenormin), metoprolol (Lopressor), and nadalol (Corgard). Blockade of these beta adrenergic receptors results in inhibition of arterial dilatation.
