Abstract

There are some options for the treatment with drugs that are useful and desirable in clinical practice in Headache Medicine, which are no available to the Brazilian doctors, such as methysergide, intravenous indomethacin, melatonin, Petasites hybridus, prochlorperazine, dihydroergotamine, intravenous aspirin and new triptans. There is a need for a change in public drug approval policies taking into account the needs of our patients rather than financial issues.
