Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The appropriate half-life for a medication intended to treat a migraine should be long enough to provide sustained relief but not so long that it causes prolonged side effects. A half-life of 2-3 hours (B) is suitable for managing acute symptoms without leading to excessive duration of action or accumulation with repeated doses.
