An oral nonopioid analgesic is often sufficient for
acute treatment of mild to moderate migraine pain
without severe nausea or vomiting. A triptan is the
drug of choice for treatment of moderate to severe
migraine in most patients without vascular disease.
Treatment of pain when it is still mild to moderate in
intensity improves headache response and reduces
the risk of recurrence.

A reader has questioned why the label for the COX-2
selective NSAID celecoxib (Celebrex, and generics),
which contains a sulfonamide moiety, states that it
is contraindicated for use in patients with an allergy
to sulfonamides, while the labels of some other
sulfonamide drugs recommend either caution or no
precautions at all. The concept of cross-reactivity
among sulfonamide drugs, particularly between
antibacterial and nonantibacterial sulfonamides, has
been controversial for many years.
