Clinical and Economic Comparison of Frovatriptan Versus other Oral Triptans in the Treatment of Acute Migraine in the Real-World Setting
Clinical Drug Investigation, 10/15/09
Guidotti M et al. – This review focuses on frovatriptan and highlights parameters that affect oral triptan choice, discusses the results of several open–label clinical and post–marketing surveillance studies of frovatriptan, and compares these naturalistic data with those from similar studies of other oral triptans. Efficacy data obtained from these trials are used to compare costs of treating migraine with frovatriptan and other oral triptans in four European countries...The low rate of headache recurrence with frovatriptan compared with other oral triptans, and the associated lower treatment costs, deserve consideration when choosing an oral triptan for the treatment of patients with acute migraine.
