Do over-the-counter medications for migraine hinder the physician?

The availability of many over-the-counter drugs that were formerly prescription medications enable patients with migraine to self-medicate easily and delay entry into the appropriate medical management. The potential for adverse effects, drug interactions, and analgesic rebound headaches can often be complications that hinder treatment. Over-the-counter products force the patient to employ a less effective step-care approach as opposed to evidence-based guidelines.

First-line pharmacotherapy for tobacco use and dependence.

First-line pharmacotherapies for tobacco use and dependence (namely, nicotine patch, nicotine gum, nicotine inhaler, nicotine nasal spray, and sustained-release bupropion) are safe and have been empirically determined to be efficacious and should always be considered part of a tobacco treatment intervention program unless contraindicated. Studies published subsequent to the literature synthesized in TTUD support previously determined efficacy of first-line pharmacologic medications for treatment of tobacco use and dependence. Further studies will be necessary to define clearly the efficacy and relative safety of combination treatments.
