FAQ

How long does it take for Sandomigran to work?

As soon as you take your first daily dose of Sandomigran, the medicine begins working through your system to alter chemicals that cause your blood vessel sizes to change. This means the medication may take a few weeks to reach its maximum effect.

Can you just stop taking Sandomigran?

It is recommended that you slowly lower your daily dose to avoid any withdrawal symptoms. It is also important during treatment to take your doses every day, even if you feel well, to ensure it stays in your system so it can prevent migraine attacks and lower their severity.
