MD is an 18-year-old woman seeking an OTC medication for the
treatment of headaches. She describes experiencing moderate
headaches each month just prior to the onset of her menstrual
period, and that the headaches are usually accompanied by fatigue,
irritability, nausea, and mild abdominal pain. She usually takes
acetaminophen for symptom relief, and is wondering if there’s
another medication that might work “better.” She has no medication
allergies and takes an oral contraceptive tablet each day for birth
control, which she has been taking for several years. Describe
counseling points you would want to reiterate to MD for the
treatment of her premenstrual headaches and to alleviate her
symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
