Description
FrovatriptanFrovatriptan Description Frovatriptan is a generic tablet used to relieve migraines, taken as soon as you begin to notice symptoms. Frovatriptan works by narrowing the blood vessels in your brain, which is believed to help ease the symptoms. This medication takes a bit longer to work than some other migraine treatments (about 2 4 hours), but it provides relief for a longer period, which can be helpful if your symptoms come back. Essential Information
What is Frovatriptan?
Frovatriptan is a generic tablet used to treat migraines, which are intense headaches that may lead to nausea and sensitivity to light and sound. It's designed to relieve symptoms rather than prevent them, so you should only take it when you have symptoms, not on a regular schedule to stop them from occurring or to lessen how often they happen.
Frovatriptan is a type of medicine called a Triptan, designed specifically to treat migraine headaches. It won't be effective for other kinds of headaches or pain. If you're uncertain whether your headaches are migraines or something else, please consult our clinician for guidance.
How does Frovatriptan work?
The exact cause of migraines isn't fully understood, but certain things are believed to 'trigger' them. These triggers can include stress, fatigue, the start of your period, or specific foods and drinks. When a migraine is triggered, unusual brain activity temporarily alters the nerves, blood vessels, and chemicals in your brain.
Triptans, such as Frovatriptan, help by activating serotonin receptors in your brain. This reduces your painful symptoms and also narrows the blood vessels around your brain, which helps block pain signals.
What doses of Frovatriptan are there?
Frovatriptan is taken as a single dose, so you should only take one tablet at a time. If this dose of Frovatriptan doesn't relieve your symptoms, have a chat with our clinician – you may need to consider a different treatment.
How long does it take Frovatriptan to work?
You should begin to notice the effects of Frovatriptan within two to four hours after taking it, although this can differ for each individual. If you take it on an empty stomach, it might work a bit quicker. While it acts more slowly than most other triptans, it stays in your system for a longer period, which could be helpful if your symptoms tend to come back on the same day.
What should I do if I make a mistake when taking Frovatriptan?
If you accidentally take more Frovatriptan than you should, get medical advice immediately. Since you only use it when you have symptoms, there's no need to worry about missing a dose.
How is Frovatriptan different from other migraine treatments?
Frovatriptan is part of a group of medicines called triptans, which all function similarly to ease your symptoms. Other options for treating migraines include common painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen, as well as anti-sickness medications.
Frovatriptan is different from other triptans because it has an unusually long half-life.
This refers to how long a medicine remains effective in your body. It can be particularly helpful if you experience migraines that come back a day or two after the initial one.
Is Frovatriptan similar to any other treatments?
Yes, there is a branded version of Frovatriptan called Migard. Both of these treatments have frovatriptan as their active ingredient and are available in the same dosage.
This means they'll generally work the same way in your body, but since Migard is a branded product, it's usually a bit pricier.
How effective is Frovatriptan?
Do I need a prescription for Frovatriptan?
Yes, you do need a prescription for Frovatriptan. This ensures that a healthcare professional can confirm it's safe and appropriate for you. Triptans are not meant for those who don't experience migraines, so they will also need to verify that your diagnosis is correct.
Important Information
Frovatriptan isn't right for everyone, and there are a few things you should know before taking it.
Here’s a leaflet for Migard, which is the branded version of Frovatriptan. Since this is for the branded version, there might be slight differences compared to the generic version. You'll receive a paper copy of the leaflet with your medication, so please use that as your main reference. If you have any questions or find something unclear, do let our clinician know, and they can discuss it with you.
