Fantastic
I had an accident a few years ago, 10 actually. I have a forever headache and get frequent migraines. I tried so many prescriptions for my daily migraine control and I got tired of the side effects. My doctor told me to take Petadolex butterbur, which is the specific brand my neurologist recommended because it is PA free. The PA, pyrrolizidine alkaloids, can damage lungs, liver, blood circulation and possibly cancerous. So whatever butterbur, it has to be PA free. This is the brand he recommends. For awhile he supplied me with coupons, but I believe it is $75.00 for three months of Petadolex. And because it is not a prescription med, this is out of out of pocket. The rest of the migraine formula involves taking 600 mg of magnesium, 400 mg of riboflavin, and 150 mg of CoQ10.I found that other than the internet B2 (Riboflavin) is hard to find. And if I find a $7.00 bottle there are 100 pills at 100 mg, I need 400 mg, at twice a day so that means that bottle is only 12.5 days supply. CoQ10 runs about $30.00 to $40.00 to get the right dosage. Magnesium is the least expensive but again you have to take multiple pills to usually get the right dosage so one bottle is rarely a months worth.The Dolovent has additional vitamins and minerals for brain health.You take two pills, twice a day. The cost comes out to be a savings for me and it saves me a lot of time and a lot of putting around to find my vitamins. This program along with Botox every 12 weeks has been a regiment that keeps my migraines down and my daily headache less annoying. I have been taking Petadolex for about 6 years now, I do a regular blood panel and health screening yearly. Everything is working well.I would highly recommend this regiment. Prior to the Botox and the vitamin route, I was averaging four to five migraines a week, and at least two a month knocked me completely out of commission. I stopped migraine numerological medications four years into my treatment and began this. I lowered my episodes to 8 a month from 16 to 20. I started Botox three years ago and lowered my episodes to 3 a month and I do not have side effects. (Previous side effects were hair loss, bleeding gums, weight gain, homicidal thoughts, limbs falling asleep, feelings of being in a perpetual fog). The science in those drugs may have improved, but after four years of being the bald fat girl with bleeding teeth who occasionally fell over and felt major rage - this is a fantastic change of pace. My life is mine again. And I don’t have to miss any more time with my family and friends.Cost wise it works out. And as far as my personal migraine episodes, they have lowered significantly for me. I do recommend this treatment. And it is fewer pills since everything is in two different pills in this regiment.

Butterbur isn’t really PA free & my liver is paying for it
This is an excellent way to kill your liver. Be sure to get your enzymes checked if you try it... there is residual PA in the product.

Sounds promising
But, to get the full benefits, you have to take the two products for four weeks. One bottle (Dolovent) has nice group of vitamins and minerals that you need and the other one (Petaodolex) is the one that has butterbar in it and the two together promote brain function.

Is it safe? What about other meds I take? CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
There's a lot of controversy surrounding butterbur. From what I understand, it's the PA that is the problem. It causes liver damage and possibly even cancer.This company claims that it's product is PA free. Therefore, I'm hoping that it will help with migraines. Since I don't have migraines all the time, and it's suggested that one not use butterber long term, I'm questioning how much this supplement can help me.Please note that some medications can increase the toxicity of butterbur. Consult your doctor, especially if you take carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenobarbital, phenytoin (Dilantin), or rifampin, rifabutin (Mycobutin).

Dolovent has been a miraculous help for my formerly frequent migraines
TEN STARS ********** I have tried many things to treat my migraines and only two things have really helped. The first is free - I was advised to drink a gallon of water a day - this was a big change for me and I built up the amount of water I was drinking slowly, tracking the amount and any effects. Once I got over 3 quarts a day I started having benefits and it really helped when I got to one gallon a day. Both the intensity and the frequency of my migraines greatly reduced. The second thing is that my doctor recommended high dose Vitamin B2. At first I took only B2 and that did help and then my doctor's assistant recommended trying Dolovent (which has the high dose B2 plus other supplements recommended for migraine) and it has been really miraculous. I am having very few migraines now and the ones I do have are much reduced in intensity. Dolovent works much better for me than just B2. And I do still drink a gallon of water a day as well. I have been do this for over a year now. I am not migraine free but I have my life back. I am just starting the Petadolex so I cannot report on how effective it is for me.

Possible migraine relief
This is a tentative review that I'll update once results are noticed (or not).This is a pill combo. You take 2 of one and 1 of the other - twice a day. They're of average size and there's no real flavor or after taste so they're easily digested. My husband is a migraine sufferer and has been since I met him 16 years ago. He used to be on prescription meds but these days he holes himself up in my bedroom curled up in a ball with curtains drawn and a blanket over his head when migraines hit. So I am praying, really praying, that this supplement helps him.

Looks promising!
I guess this studied combination is made with documented ingredients to help promote healthy brain function and I’m always searching for things like that. Their information on the advertising pages says that the Peradolex used in here is neurologists recommended. It’s made with a Patented extraction process that actually removes the natural occurring liver toxins that occur in Butterber to make it safe and clean to take. It can take up to a month to show its benefits so, I will give it the time it needs and hope I personally benefit. From everything I’ve read, it looks good. It’s made in Germany and they say that its made very clean but, I wish they actually gave the information on its testing and manufacturing processes. I think it’s worth trying because, I like my brain to function as well as possible. Enjoy!😁
