Frova as a prevent

Quote:

Results.— The study was prematurely discontinued after 13 months and enrollment of 11, instead of the planned 80 patients, by the sponsor due to infeasibility. Recruitment was slow and each of the patients included conducted major protocol violations. The differences in the primary and secondary endpoints were not significant.

Shame on us.

Mrs. Barlow, I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron. "SHUT UP HUB!"

It's probably just as well they cnx'd this study. Triptans are a lot more invasive than the pharma's or much of the literature lets on. Using any triptan too long can do a number on the heart.

I know I sound like a stuck record, but oxygen therapy has no invasive or lasting side effects compared to the triptans. It's far less expensive and if used at flow rates that support hyperventilation, ≥25 liters/minute, it's capable of producing aborts just as fast as sumatriptan injections with greater efficacy.

Take care,

V/R, Batch

You love lots of things if you live around them. But there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, that’s as lovely as a great airplane. If it's a beautiful fighter, your heart will be ever there
