What is Frovatriptan and what is it used for:
Frovatriptan is a medication used for the acute treatment of migraine headaches with or without aura in adults. It is a selective serotonin receptor agonist that works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain to reduce migraine symptoms.
How to take Frovatriptan:
Frovatriptan is taken orally, usually as a single dose of 2.5 mg with or without food. If the headache returns or is not relieved, a second dose may be taken after two hours. The maximum recommended dose is 7.5 mg in 24 hours. It is important to follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Possible side effects of Frovatriptan:
Frovatriptan may cause some side effects, including:
• Nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness or drowsiness
• Weakness or fatigue
• Dry mouth
• Sensation of tightness, pressure, or heaviness in the chest, throat, jaw, or other parts of the body
These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. If they persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Frovatriptan:
Before taking Frovatriptan, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, or heart disease. Frovatriptan may interact with certain medications, so it is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Frovatriptan should not be used to prevent or reduce the number of migraine headaches you get. It should only be used to treat a migraine headache that has already started. Do not take Frovatriptan if you have certain types of heart disease, a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack, or severe liver disease. Frovatriptan is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
