About this blog

The number of medicines for neurologic disease has increased exponentially. With the rise of generics there is a dizzying amount of information.

Often, important news only reaches patients when they are on line (physically) at their pharmacy to refill a needed medicine.

This blog is tended to be a source of shared information from patients and parents of patients about news related to their care.

Feel free to e-mail any news about medicine or to submit comments. Any submissions will require a personal e-mail for verification.

Please please please do not change your treatment based on things you read on the Internet. Always, check with your physician.

Midrin Availability

As many of you know, Midrin (Isometheptene, Dichloralphenazone, and Acetaminophen) and all generics are no longer available in the United States.

This link provides the best source of information I have found to date on the topic.

Many headache patients still value this medication because of its efficacy and low addictive potential.
