ABSTRACT
Migraine is the most common primary headache
seen in the first level of attention causing disability.
It is more common in women and especially
during reproductive ages, showing a relationship
with levels of estrogen and progesterone, as well as
with the fluctuations in both. During pregnancy,
migraine in women can appear for the first time,
get worse or more frequently improve. Its diagnosis
is centered in the detection of red flags that might
suggest a secondary headache. The therapeutic
approach can be divided in pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic
options, the first one subsequently
subcategorized in drugs for prophylaxis and acute
treatment. Among the medications available are
beta blockers and amitriptyline for prevention,
while acetaminophen is used for the acute pain
attacks. The prescription of triptans, especially
sumatriptan, appears to the safe, nonetheless it
is preserved as a third line treatment. Opioids
despite its effectiveness are not recommended.
Recommendations during breast-feeding follow a
similar line.
