Migraines can be treated with frovatriptan. It relieves pain and other symptoms of headaches- nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light. The drug Frovatriptan (Frova) belongs to the triptan class of medicine.
It works by activating serotonin receptors in your brain and nervous system, which are produced by your body. Migraine occurs when blood vessels widen which causes too much blood flow into the brain and when specific sensory molecules are released into the nervous system. Frovatriptan tightens the blood vessels in the brain and prevents the release of sensory chemicals by acting on serotonin receptors, which relieves migraine. Frovatriptan does not prevent future migraines or reduce the frequency of migraine attacks.
Frovatriptan should not be used to treat a tension headache or a headache that makes one side of your body immobile. Use Frovatriptan only if a medical professional has identified your symptoms as migraine headaches.
Frovatriptan's half-life is five times longer than that of other triptans, making it unique. As a result, frovatriptan can be used for both long-term or recurring migraine as well as for mini-prophylaxis, including migraines associated with menstruation and other conditions.
