Simple pain relievers are the best medicine for minor headache relief. These medicines include acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. While all of these are effective medicines for headaches, each one has pros and cons to consider.

It is important to know what types of headache medications are available over the counter and which are only available by prescription.
