Neurology & Migraine
Neurology & Migraine: how we evaluate, when we prescribe, and safety checks. Start a confidential online consultation.
Overview
Neurological (Neuro) medications treat disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. These include conditions such as epilepsy, migraines, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathic pain.
Uses
Therapies include antiepileptics, antimigraine triptans, dopaminergic agents for Parkinson’s, and neuromodulators for chronic pain or seizures.Mechanism / Approach
Drugs target electrical signaling, neurotransmitter release, or neuroinflammation. Some stabilize neuronal membranes; others modulate excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate.Safety & Patient Considerations
Patients should never stop neurological drugs abruptly. Regular monitoring ensures dosage stability. Drowsiness, dizziness, or cognitive slowing are possible effects.FAQ
Can neuro drugs cure disease?
They control symptoms rather than cure in most cases.
Are these medications lifelong?
Often yes, especially for epilepsy or Parkinson’s.
Can I drink alcohol?
Usually not — it interferes with neural activity and drug metabolism.
