Migrant Medicine New drugs that can attack the Second Migrant Medicine

You have a migraine problem? Currently, the doctor you have a choice other drugs called Frova. Frova has been approved by the FDA to treat migraine attacks in adults and can prevent headaches relapse again - at least in the short time. This is based on a study presented at the meeting and the American Society in Seattle this week.

Frova with one class of drugs called triptan, among others, Imitrex, Axert, Amerge, Maxalt and Zomig. Medicines is a reseptor serotonin active. Serotonin is a chemical substance in the brain associated with pain point and a sense of fun. How do these medicines work to eliminate migraine is unclear, but these medicines cause brain blood vessels and the head shrink, so will reduce the burden of headache medicine and sensitively that this has the effect change how the brain works against pain.

The problem is half of the people who drink these medicines will return migraine attack within 24 hours.

"You put up with a headache attack of the" hidden "within 24 hours after the influence of drugs so that the finished migraine attacks will arise again," said Jan Brandes, MD author of a study that also clinical neurology instructor at Vanderbilt University medical school in Nashville.

Frova is the difference with the length of drugs that survive in the bloodstream, Brandes added. Frova survive in the blood during 26 hours long enough to prevent the emergence of other headaches. Indeed, "If the attack is not immediately go first, then can drink another dose in 2 hours and can be drunk up to 3 tablets in 24 hours," he said on glucosamine.

In a random five research involving more than 4,000 patients, Frova significantly reduce the pain caused by migraine than those who drink plasebo. Side effects reported by patients are nausea, and very sensitf on the light and sound. "Kambuhnya headaches are generally low, averaging below 17%," said Brandes.

Two thirds of migraine patients can experience "no pain" or "mild pain that" in 4 hours. This is very impressive, especially when you estimate these patients experienced mild headaches to weight. Drugs can not be used to overcome a mild headache.

"Other drugs can not work like that, even kekambuhan number of ditimbulkannya large," said Brandes.

Beginning later this medicine work, so very good effect on people who have migraine pain, which increased slowly. Migraine pain that they suffered take several hours to peak pain, Brandes added to the glucosamine.

"If you are awakened from sleep with a migraine attack, you have the possibility of migraine pain during sleep overnight," he said. However, patients are awake in the morning with a pain that has no taste or a good light, they - especially the oldest to attack - indeed benefit from drugs such as the effect does not disappear quickly.

Women who have migraine due to the influence of hormones during menstruation - migraine can occur if the protracted period of menstruation - will also benefit from the use of Frova. Indeed, there is no data but this is an advantage.

One percent of patients secede from the research because the side effects that ditimbulkannya, most of them experienced a mild complaint, or are temporary. Vertigo, fatigue, feeling burned, and the feeling like being, redness (Flushing), headache, dry mouth, hot or cold sensation and chest pain was reported as side effects from these drugs.

Reaction to the drugs each patient is different, someone will react in a triptan drugs and not on other issues, this is a try-and error that many doctors are not aware if they should try to medicines different.
