| | Lotrel review by 36 year old female patient | | | Rating |
| Overall rating: | | |
| Effectiveness: | | Highly Effective |
| Side effects: | | Mild Side Effects | | |
Treatment Info |
| Condition / reason: | | Migraine headaches |
| Dosage & duration: | | 10mg/20mg taken once daily for the period of over two years |
| Other conditions: | | Borderline highblood pressure |
| Other drugs taken: | | Imitrex (as needed) | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | There was a huge reduction in the number of migraine headaches that I experienced. Before I started on the meds, I was getting migraines 3-4 times per week. Now I get them once or twice a year. I think the daily meds may even slightly reduce the rate at which a migraine (the rare times that I get them now) comes on. |
| Side effects: | | I do experience a slight cough. It isn't a major problem; it only happens maybe a couple times a week and it is sort of like a cough you would use to clear a tickle from your throat. |
| Comments: | | I take one pill daily and have to visit my physician every six months. |
