What type of medication is recommended for prophylactic treatment of migraine?

Antihistamines
Antivirals
Antihypertensives
Antifungals

The correct answer is: Antihypertensives

Antihistamines (option A) are not recommended for the prophylactic treatment of migraine as they are primarily used for allergies and have not been shown to be effective for preventing migraines. Antivirals (option B) are not used for the prophylactic treatment of migraine as they are used for treating viral infections, not preventing migraines. Antifungals (option D) are not recommended for the prophylactic treatment of migraine as they are used for treating fungal infections, not preventing migraines. Antihypertensives (option C), on the other hand, have been shown to be effective in preventing migraines by reducing the frequency and severity of attacks. Therefore, they are the recommended type of medication for prophylactic treatment of migraine.
