Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Menstrual migraines may be treated with estrogen, some perimenstrual triptans, such as frova-triptan, and Naproxyn.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Preferred drugs for prophylaxis include propranolol, divalproex, and amitriptyline. Timolol is a beta blocker and can be used instead of propranolol. Acebutolol possesses intrinsic sympatho-mimetic activity and is not effective for migraine prophylaxis. Ergotamine is used for abortive therapy.
