Which of the following drugs can be used prophylactically for migraines?

Explanation
Answer - B - Anti-depressants may be used as prevention (prophylaxis) for migraines. OTC products with caffeine may exacerbate migraines and OTC migraine analgesics may treat migraines symptomatically, but they are not indicated for prevention. Antihypertensives may have some effect in migraines where hypertension places a role, but are not used as prophylactics for migraine.
