If patient take pain meds Every 6 hrs/day PRN, patient will be taking a maximum of 4 tablets a day.

If patient is taking this medicine Q4hrs/day PRN, the total maximum tablets /day will be 6 tablets.

In this case, this patient is taking 12 tablets /day because the pain is too much and it is unbearable. This is an overdose of narcotic that could put patient to tolerance for this pain medication and need conversion to a new drug that could best control the pain.

I will also recommend a different Asthma medications, relaxation technic could also help in management of migraine.

Base on CM condition, she may benefit from prophylactic treatment. She is qualified for the prophylactic treatment because she has headache that last 2 to 3 days and 2 times a month, and a severe and prolonged migraine attack. According to Peters (2019)’’Preventive therapy should be considered for patients with migraines who routinely have more than 6 headache-days per month, or in other special circumstances, such as recurring migraines producing disability, acute therapies that are ineffective or contraindicated, when serious adverse reactions are produced, or even when it is the patient’s preference’’.
