Great post Jess! You covered some great points about Macrolides, Tetracyclines, and the importance of medication interactions with both other medications and some types of food. For example, you stated tetracyclines are prevented from being absorbed with food, antacids, and dairy products.

However, in spite of the presence of migrainous symptoms, NDPH is still defined as a headache and has headache-related symptoms.

The pain is also typically pressing or tightening in quality, which is characteristic of a typical headache (Prakash & Shah, 2010).
