Hello,

Naxdom is a combination of a pain killer belonging to the NSAID category and an anti-emetic ( prevents vomiting). It is okay to take it once in a while when you have the pain. Continuous usage can have adverse effects like all NSAIDs producing liver and kidney damages.
Migraine can be prevented in many cases with the use of medicines in the category of betablockers and other drugs which have to be individualised. I have many patients who are very successfully preventing their migraine attacks.
Non pharmaceutical management with proper diet, avoidance of precipitating factors including stress are also very helpful.
I shall be happy to answer further queries if any.
Best wishes,
Dr. Noble Zachariah
