Brief Answer:
He can take other medicines...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Yes, he can take other medicines but not mersyndol. Mersyndol and other opioid medication can produce synergestic effects. He might end up vomiting more as opioid can induce vomiting.

In such cases, I suggest my patients to try anti vomiting pills such as domperidone along with sumatriptan 10mg. This combination is highly effective in treating acute migraine headache. I am not sure if the above drugs are available over the counter in your locality. You can check with your pharmacist.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
