Axert
Axert is a Migraine-specific medication in the triptans class. It is used for the acute treatment of Migraine attacks when they occur. Triptans should be taken as early in a Migraine as possible and, unlike pain medications, are intended to work in the brain to stop the Migraine process and all the symptoms associated with it.
