I use to get what is referred to as a 6 pack of Imitrex, which was a total of 12 shots. Our insurance covered it when ever I ran out. When the cluster headaches were bad and lasted for days, there were times I went through all twelve shots in a months time. Our insurance now only allows half that dose and only every 35 days at a time. Why 35 days I have no idea. When I spoke to the insurance company their reason was the cost. Hopefully with the generic brand that will change.
