"By far the greatest medication available. Especially if you take it on the first sign of your migraine and close your eyes for 5-10 min. It will take care of the pain so quickly!"

"I have had migraines for over 30 years. Have tried everything. This works the best almost every time. I'd say 9 out of 10 times it cures the migraine and is a winner in my book."
