Introduction: Migraine is one of the frequent cause of headache presenting to physicians and neurologists. There is wide variation in presentation of the problem and factors influencing it. This also influences the pharmacotherapy of the disease. Aims and objective : There is deficit in date in regarding with clinical symptomatology and anti migraine drugs used in India. Our study has aimed to focus on the epidemiological pattern of presentation and also the pharmacotherapy of migraine. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study done in Government Dharmapuri medical college for one year from Jan 2017 to Dec 2017. Clinico-epidemiological data and drug usage pattern were obtained from patients. Observations and Results: Migraine was primarily seen in female patient population with frequent onset in 2nd to 4th decade. Unilateral headache was common seen in our study with no patients with bilateral type. Calcium Channel blockers is commonly used in our patients followed by beta blockers. There were lots of limitations to the use of NSAID due to GI side effects. Conclusion: Further large clinical as well as epidemiological studies must be conducted try to confirm and further enlighten our observations.Downloads
