Need a Treximet prescription? Learn which doctors prescribe Treximet, how to find a provider near you, and what to expect at your appointment in 2026.
If you suffer from migraines, you know the difference between a medication that works and one that doesn't. Treximet — a combination of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium — is one of the most effective options for stopping a migraine once it starts. But getting a prescription isn't always straightforward. Not every doctor is familiar with this combination product, and some may default to prescribing the components separately.
This guide will walk you through exactly how to find a provider who can prescribe Treximet, what to expect at your appointment, and what to do after you get your prescription.
Treximet can be prescribed by several types of healthcare providers. You don't necessarily need a specialist, though one may be helpful if your migraines are complex.
Your family doctor or internist is often the first stop. Most primary care providers are comfortable prescribing triptans like Treximet for straightforward migraine cases. If you have an established relationship with a PCP, this is usually the fastest route to a prescription.
Neurologists specialize in conditions affecting the brain and nervous system, including migraines. If your migraines are frequent (more than 4 per month), don't respond to other treatments, or come with unusual symptoms, a neurologist is the right choice.
Headache medicine is a subspecialty of neurology. These doctors focus exclusively on headache disorders and are most likely to be familiar with combination products like Treximet. The American Migraine Foundation maintains a directory of headache specialists.
NPs and PAs can also prescribe Treximet in most states. You'll often find them at urgent care clinics, primary care offices, and telehealth platforms.
Here are the most effective ways to find a doctor who can prescribe Treximet in your area.
Start with your insurance company's online directory. This ensures any doctor you visit will be in-network, which keeps your costs down. Search for neurologists or primary care physicians and filter by location. Most insurance websites let you search by specialty and distance from your zip code.
Platforms like Zocdoc let you search for doctors by specialty, insurance accepted, and availability. You can often book same-week appointments. Search for "neurologist" or "migraine" in your area. Healthgrades and Vitals offer similar search tools with patient reviews.
If you already see a doctor for other health issues, ask for a referral to a neurologist or headache specialist. Many insurance plans require referrals for specialist visits anyway, so this step may be necessary. Your PCP may also be willing to prescribe Treximet themselves if your case is straightforward.
Telehealth has made it much easier to get a migraine prescription without leaving home. Platforms like Cove, Nurx, and general telehealth services (Teladoc, MDLive) can connect you with providers who prescribe migraine medications. Treximet is not a controlled substance, so there are no special restrictions on telehealth prescribing.
Telehealth appointments are often faster and cheaper than in-person visits, especially if you don't have insurance or your copay is high.
If you live near a teaching hospital, their neurology department often has headache clinics with the latest treatment options. These centers are more likely to be familiar with combination products like Treximet.
Whether you see a PCP, neurologist, or telehealth provider, here's what to prepare for:
Your doctor will likely ask about your migraine frequency, severity, and how they affect your daily life. They may perform a neurological exam. If you're a good candidate for Treximet, they can write a prescription the same day.
Don't be afraid to ask specifically about Treximet if your doctor suggests a different medication. You can say something like: "I've read about Treximet and I'd like to try it. Is that an option for me?"
Getting the prescription is just the first step. Here's what comes next.
Treximet — especially the brand-name version — is not always in stock at every pharmacy. Before making a trip, check if your pharmacy has it or use Medfinder to search for pharmacies near you that have it available.
Treximet can be expensive. Brand-name tablets run $500–$900 for 9 tablets without insurance. The generic version is more affordable at $130–$250 with discount coupons. The manufacturer also offers direct purchase through treximet.com at $75 or less for the authorized generic.

Most doctors will want to check in after you've tried Treximet for a few migraines. Keep tracking your symptoms so you can report how well it works. If it's effective, your doctor may write refills for ongoing use.
Finding the right doctor to prescribe Treximet doesn't have to be complicated. Start with your primary care provider or search for a neurologist through your insurance directory. If convenience matters, telehealth is a fast and easy option. The most important thing is to come prepared with your migraine history and be ready to discuss your health background.
Once you have your prescription, use Medfinder to find a pharmacy that has Treximet in stock near you.
