Abstract
Recent survey results show that 3.2 million Canadians suffer from migraine attacks. Among those responding to the survey, 36% were currently consulting physicians for their headaches, 45% had discontinued consulting physicians, and 19% had never sought medical help. About 90% of these migraine sufferers used over-the-counter drugs. Risks associated with improper use of OTC medications include addiction, gastric irritation, liver toxicity, and rebound headache syndrome.Entities:
