This excerpt taken from the TPTX 10-K filed Mar 29, 2007. Current Treatments for Migraine Triptans are the most commonly prescribed drugs for the treatment of moderate to severe migraine. There are seven triptans approved for use and Imitrex®, marketed by GlaxoSmithKline, dominates the market. Other triptans are: Zomig®, Maxalt®, Amerge®, Frova, Axert®, and Relpax®. Patients who suffer from a mild migraine, or are unaware that their headache is a migraine, generally treat themselves with an over-the-counter analgesic such as aspirin or ibuprofen. |
