Why do we have so few FDA approved migraine medications for children? Should parents be concerned when their children are prescribed one or more medications that are "off-label" for pediatric patients? What does "off-label" really mean? Does it affect whether insurance will cover medications?
Tune in to this episode of HeadWise as host, Lindsay Weitzel, PhD addresses these questions and more with Pediatric Headache Specialist Amy Gelfand, MD.
