Episodic vs chronic migraine

“Episodic” and “chronic” migraine are terms used to describe how many migraine days per month you experience.

Episodic migraine: 14 or fewer migraine days per month
Chronic migraine: 15 or more headache days per month*

*With at least 8 of those being migraine days.

Not all migraine treatments are the same

Acute* treatments are taken once migraine begins. Preventive medicines can be taken at different frequencies and help reduce the number of migraine days.

If you're not satisfied with your current treatment, ask your doctor about once-monthly Emgality today.

*Emgality is not approved for the acute treatment of migraine.
