FOX4: New FDA Approved medication could provide relief for migraine sufferers

“The main advantage is that it is a different medication," said Steven Arkin, a neurologist at Saint Luke’s Marion Bloch Neuroscience Institute. "It is a totally different mechanism. So when I have been talking over the last couple decades, I’ve had just a short collection to choose from. Once that list is exhausted, I really do not have elsewhere to go except to choose different combinations."
