And then if the general neurologist cannot help, then you go to a specialist like myself.

So we tend to see people who have tried things and didn't work.

So if you just started having headaches, you don't need to see me.

Oral sumatriptan, 60%.

Injectable.

It comes in an auto-injector.

You press a button, give yourself a shot.

Up to 80% of people respond to that injection.

And again, it's safer than over-the-counter medications.

The petition that I submitted to the FDA lists all the studies showing that sumatriptan and other triptans, we have seven of those on the market, are safer than Advil, Excedrin, Tylenol, because those cause stomach bleeding, liver problems, kidney damage.

Triptans are safer even for your heart because there is a contraindication for sumatriptan.

If you have heart disease, you shouldn't be taking it.

GLP-1s I've written about on my blog.

And GLP-1s, you know, when the new drug comes out, they're too good to be true.

As you probably know that they are being touted for the prevention of Alzheimer's and other things.

They do have some anti-inflammatory properties.

That could be one mechanism.

But a very important mechanism is weight loss because we have multiple studies, hard data correlating the weight and the frequency of migraines.

The heavier you are, the more migraines you get.

And it doesn't matter how you lose weight.
