Comment:
I have been taking Esgic Plus for a number of years and am very grateful for its effectiveness. I take them when I feel the first sign of a migrane headache. I feel relief, USUALLY, within the first 1/2 hour after taking the medication. It does not alway stop the migrane entirely but it lessens the pain so that my life isn’t totally interrupted by the headaches.
Occasionally, I will need to go the route of bed, darkness, quiet and sleep inorder to get relief. I am thankful for this medication.

This truly didn’t help much, but better than nothing at all. A little bit stronger than Alieve (I was taking two of these at a time)..If I took Esgis by twos it was better, one did nothing at all.

It helps when I get a tension headache, especially if I am able to rest and close my eyes for 30 minutes or so. It also helps my middle of the night back spasms. I can’t take anything stronger because I am a very early riser for work and it doesn’t leave me groggy when I get up.

I have been taking this medicine for about 2 months and I have found it is the only medicine that gives me full relief from a migraine. I have to take the medicine on a full stomach or I get sick. I also have to lay down in a silent and dark room for 30 minutes to 1 hour for full relief.

It works well if taken at the beginning of a headache especially if I lie down for about a half hour after taking it and try to relax as much as possible. It heads off migraines.

Have suffered with tension and migraine headaches for over 40 years. Esgic Plus is the only med I have found to work! Make sure to take it with food or stomach ache make occur.

If taken when migrain starts in my neck it will stop a full blown migrain from occuring. Sometimes two doses is required
