Migraine pain is commonly prevalent in women as compared to men. This is attributed to the changes in oestrogen levels in females, especially during menstruation. Moreover, hormonal medications, such as oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy may further worsen migraine in women. Therefore, increase in the female population is anticipated to propel the growth of migraine drugs market. However, lack of proper diagnosis and undiagnosed cases, adverse effects of drugs, increased preference for alternative therapies, and generic penetration are the few factors hampering the migraine drugs market.
