Which of the following should NOT be used to prevent a migraine?
  1. OTC products with caffeine
  2. Anti-depressants
  3. Anti-hypertensives
  4. OTC migraine analgesics
Explanation
Answer: A - OTC products with caffeine may exacerbate migraines. Anti-depressants may be used as prevention (prophylaxis) for migraines and OTC migraine analgesics may treat migraines symptomatically, but they are not indicated for prevention. Anti-hypertensives may have some effect in migraines where hypertension places a role but are not generally used as a prophylactic treatment for migraine.
