Several migraine prevention medications are available as self-injectable treatments. The most common ones are:

• Aimovig - self-injected once per month
• Ajovy - self-injected every one or three months
• Emgality - self-injected once per month

These medications are known as CGRP monoclonal antibodies and need to be injected because they are large molecules that can't be taken orally. Before starting any self-injection regimen, it's important to:

• Consult with your healthcare provider about proper injection technique
• Have them demonstrate the correct method
• Practice under supervision initially
• Follow the specific storage and handling instructions for your medication
• Monitor for any allergic reactions or side effects

Remember to always use sterile technique and rotate injection sites as directed by your healthcare provider.
