Midrin Migraine Medication Is No Longer Available

But the good news is that we can compound the same active ingredients for you!

Our 'Migraine-Ease' contains:

Acetaminophen 325mg
Isometheptene mucate 65mg
Chloral hydrate 63.7mg
Antipyrine 36.3mg

(these are the same active ingredients in Midrin.
You may see Dichloralphenazone listed as an active ingredient in Midrin. Dichloralphenazone is a mixture of antipyrine with chloral hydrate.)

For ease of prescribing, a prescription sent to us by your healthcare provider for "Migraine Ease" will be filled with the above ingredients and concentrations.

We can customize the concentrations or individual ingredients to adjust for specific patient needs if requested. As an example, we could substitute ibuprofen in place of acetaminophen for patients with liver problems.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Have a great week!
