Title: Frobatriptan
Post by jtp on Mar 20^th, 2002, 6:18am

FYI - Elan Corp will be marketing a new Triptan in April of this year called Froba. Relevant in that this triptan has a half life of 26 hours (versus Amerge which is 6 odd hours). This would suggest that one could take 1 Froba every 2-3 days, versus 2/day requirement for Amerge.

That's great news for those living in the States. I talked to my neuro about it last week and he told me it'll take a lot longer for us Canadians! Now there's a surprise! HA! I'm anxious to see if'n it'll work!

Yes, but ask for Frovatriptan. ;D
The doctor can find that in his books.
