About migraine medication online

In order to diagnose a migraine, providers will typically assess your symptoms and medical history, including any allergies, sensitivities, or medications you may be taking. If your throbbing headache is accompanied by symptoms like nausea and sensitivity to light, sound, and smell, they may clinically diagnose a migraine attack.

Your provider will also ask about your symptom history to determine whether they are caused by tension headaches, migraines, or something else.

Every medical provider on Sesame is fully licensed with an active NPI. If appropriate, they can provide you with a same-day prescription for migraine relief.

Yes, migraines can be treated online through telehealth platforms like Sesame! If you have a history of migraines or are noticing the symptoms of a migraine headache, book a visit right away to discuss your condition with a licensed clinician.

If appropriate, your clinician can prescribe medication like rizatriptan (Maxalt), sumatriptan (Imitrex), Rimegepant (Nurtec ODT), topiramate (Topamax), or erenumab through Sesame, as well as other therapies that might provide relief. Depending on the medication, you can have your medicine delivered to your home or ready for same-day pickup at a convenient pharmacy.

Yes! Sesame makes it easier than ever to get a new prescription or refill a prescription from the comfort of your own home!

To discuss a new online prescription or refill, book a video visit with a doctor or nurse on Sesame. Clinicians on Sesame can prescribe acute migraine relief drugs such as sumatriptan (Imitrex) or rizatriptan (Maxalt) when appropriate. They can also prescribe preventative drugs like topiramate, rimegepant (Nurtec ODT), or erenumab (Aimovig).

Note that providers on Sesame cannot prescribe controlled substances.

The most appropriate migraine medication depends on your healthcare provider’s diagnosis and your treatment goal.

For acute attacks, clinicians on Sesame commonly prescribe triptans like sumatriptan or rizatriptan (Maxalt) to stop your migraine from progressing. For migraine prevention, common medications include topiramate (Topamax) or erenumab (Aimovig). Rimegepant (Nurtec ODT) can be used for both.

If you are concerned about managing nausea, your Sesame provider can prescribe medication for that as well, when appropriate.

Booking an online appointment with a licensed healthcare practitioner is typically the fastest way to get a prescription!

Sesame offers same-day online migraine medication prescription and prescription refill appointments. If deemed clinically necessary, Sesame providers can provide prescriptions and prescription refills for most non-controlled substances. They can also provide you with a doctor’s note if necessary.

Most online prescription and prescription refill appointments take around 15 minutes, and providers are able to send a prescription to a pharmacy of your choice right after your appointment.

Sesame's online visits start at just $34 per visit! If a new prescription is determined necessary by a provider, clinicians on Sesame can prescribe acute, preventative, or migraine-related nausea medication as appropriate.

Yep! If you request a prescription transfer, you can easily move your prescription from one pharmacy to another. Plus, many pharmacies now offer mail services for home delivery. Here's how to request a prescription refill at a different pharmacy:

  1. Call your new preferred pharmacy to request a transfer.
  2. Provide that pharmacy with health insurance/prescription info.
  3. Wait for the prescription to be transferred before you pick it up. It usually takes pharmacies a few days to transfer a prescription, but you will get a notification once this step has been completed. Either go pick up your medication in person or set up home delivery.

Browse appointments and providers to get your migraine prescription refilled at a low, upfront price.

When a migraine hits, moving to a dark, quiet room can provide relief. A cold or warm compress on your head or neck can constrict inflamed blood vessels and relax muscle tension, and you should also stay hydrated and try to rest. OTC medications, such as NSAIDs or aspirin, can also reduce mild to moderate symptoms if you take them early.

For faster, more effective relief from acute attacks, a clinician on Sesame can prescribe medications like triptans, which are designed to stop a migraine from getting worse. Book a same-day visit with a top-rated provider to get a treatment plan without a clinic visit.

Seek emergency care immediately if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

  • A severe, sudden headache that reaches maximum intensity within seconds, or if your headache feels unlike any you have experienced before
  • Fever
  • Confusion
  • Vision changes
  • Difficulty speaking
  • Neurological symptoms such as numbness or weakness

If you have a severe migraine headache without these warning signs, a healthcare provider on Sesame can assess your symptoms and recommend a treatment plan with a same-day video consultation. If they determine you need emergency treatment, specialist care, or further testing, they will guide you through the next steps.
