Brief Answer: you can safely give Detailed Answer: Namasthe Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Dear Mr XXXXXXX Management of migraine requires drugs to prevent the attack also known as prophylactic drugs. Betacarp is a Beta blocker which is helpful in prophylaxis of migraine. Naxdom is Amitriptyline which Tricyclic antidepressant and is also helpful in prophylaxis. Even in my clinical practice I give combination of both for prophylactic prevention of pain. If pain does occur even on being on prophylaxis medicine Naxdom will be helpful. I would suggest you to go ahead with the treatment and it can be safely given. In case you require any further assistance, will be glad to assist you. Take care Best Regards Dr T Shobha Deepak MBBS, MD
