Title: Axert
Post by Critter on Mar 29^th, 2002, 1:33pm

Has anyone used or heard about this drug? The doc gave it to my wife, but from what i've read about it, it sounds like it's for migraines not clusters. ???

Hi Critter,

From what I've seen, Axert is one of the triptanes (like imitrex and maxalt). As far as I've seen here, Maxalt tablets seem to work for some, though tablets of any triptane usually take too long to work for clusters.
