    AbstractWe describe the use of the antihypertensive, candesartan, with hydrochlorothiazide (ECARD Combination Tablets LD) as a preventive therapy that decreased the frequency of migraine accompanied by premonitory leg edema. Two women (aged 26 and 50 years) presented to hospital with an increasing frequency of migraine without aura accompanied by leg edema. We prescribed ECARD half tablet (candesartan, 2 mg and hydrochlorothiazide, 3.125 mg), and the migraines and leg edema disappeared. The use of ECARD to treat a series of migraines by controlling premonitory leg edema has not been reported. ECARD, combined with a low-dose diuretic, may have been helpful in these patients with the premonitory migraine symptom of leg edema.© 2012 The Authors Pain Practice © 2012 World Institute of Pain.
