I thought the max was 4 tablets in 24 hours, not 6?

I'm a bit confused about the ergotamine part; I thought it was only for certain cases, but I can't remember the specifics.

I feel like option C sounds right because I remember we can use it again if a headache comes back after a certain time.

I think I saw a practice question that mentioned the maximum dosage for sumatriptan, but I can't recall if it's six tablets or something else.

Hmm, I'm a little confused by the wording of some of these options. I'll need to think carefully about the appropriate use of sumatriptan and what the patient really needs to know.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. There are a lot of details to consider when it comes to migraine medication. I'll need to re-read the question and options closely.
