1 PL Detail-Document # This PL Detail-Document gives subscribers additional insight related the Recommendations published in PHARMACIST S LETTER / PRESCRIBER S LETTER November 2014 Acute Migraine Treatment in Adults Treatment of patients with migraine is challenging because it is a complex condition. 1,2 Experts suggest several goals for the successful treatment of acute migraine. These goals include prompt treatment at the onset of sympms, resration of the patient s ability function, and minimization of the need for backup and rescue medications. Since patient response is unpredictable, treatment must be individualized. 1 The choice of treatment should be based on the frequency and severity of attacks, the presence and degree of temporary disability, and whether sympms such as nausea and vomiting are present. 1,2 Finally, patients must be counseled regarding appropriate use of medications avoid medication overuse headaches. 1 The table below compares the role in therapy of drugs used for acute migraine treatment in adults. For information about prevention of migraines, see our PL Charts, Drugs Prevent Migraine in Adults and Pediatric Migraine Prevention. DRUG/ DRUG CLASS Acetaminophen ROLE IN THERAPY be useful first choice drug for acute migraine in those with mild moderate attacks or in those with contraindications, or who cannot lerate, NSAIDs or aspirin. 3 CONSIDERATIONS FOR USE Acetaminophen, with or without caffeine, in doses of 1000 mg, is effective in the treatment of acute migraine. 1,3 (Max dose 4000 mg in 24 hours.) 1 Pain-free response at two hours is inferior other commonly used analgesics such as NSAIDs and aspirin. 3 Addition of 10 mg meclopramide may improve efficacy. 1,3 Safe. Adverse events similar placebo. 3 Barbiturate-containing products (e.g. butalbitalcontaining products such as Fiorinal, others) Corticosteroids Avoid. 1 Limited evidence of efficacy. 1 be beneficial in refracry migraine attack that has failed respond the patient s usual acute medication. 1 Potential for abuse or dependence. 1 Withdrawal syndrome may occur with discontinuation. 1 High risk of medication overuse headaches with butalbital. 9 Lack of randomized controlled trials support use. 1 Examples of regimens include prednisone 50 mg 60 mg on the first day and tapering over two or three additional days, or dexamethasone 8 mg on the first day, and tapering over two or three days. 1 When added standard therapy in the emergency room, a single parenteral dose of dexamethasone is associated with a reduction in headache. 1 Monotherapy with intravenous dexamethasone may be effective. 1 Copyright 2014 by Therapeutic Research Center
2 (PL Detail-Document #301104: Page 2 of 4) DRUG/ DRUG CLASS Ergotamine ROLE IN THERAPY First-line option for patients who don t respond, or can t use a triptan. 1 CONSIDERATIONS FOR USE Intranasal dihydroamine (e.g., Migranal) effective for migraines, but less effective than intranasal or subcutaneous sumatriptan. 1 Subcutaneous dihydroamine (DHE) similarly effective subcutaneous sumatriptan, but onset is slower. 1 Evidence does not support efficacy of intravenous DHE. 2 Evidence inconsistent support efficacy of oral amine or amine caffeine, and frequently associated with adverse events. 2 use 24 hours of triptan agent. 4 Ergotamine preparations associated with CYP3A4 drug interactions Meclopramide (and domperidone in Canada) Adjunct, treat or prevent nausea and vomiting. 1,2 Improves gastroparesis associated with migraines, which helps improve absorption of oral migraine medications. Also treats the nausea/vomiting associated with migraines. improve efficacy of NSAIDs or oral triptans. 1 Most commonly studied doses are meclopramide 10 mg orally and domperidone 10 mg orally (Canada only). 1 NSAIDs, including aspirin First-line treatment for mild moderate migraine attacks due efficacy and lerability, especially in migraines that have responded NSAIDs in the past. 2 Most consistent evidence with aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium. 2 Aspirin 1000 mg, with or without caffeine, similarly effective sumatriptan 50 mg or 100 mg. 5 Addition of meclopramide 10 mg aspirin improves nausea/vomiting and gastroparesis. 1,5 Ibuprofen effective in about half of patients. Doses of 400 mg provide better pain relief than 200 mg. 1,6 Soluble formulations of NSAIDs may provide more rapid relief. 1 Naproxen sodium (500 mg or 550 mg; up 82, as needed and lerated) immediate-release formulations have been shown be effective. 1 However, a recent meta-analysis suggests naproxen may be less effective than other NSAIDs. 7 Copyright 2014 by Therapeutic Research Center
3 (PL Detail-Document #301104: Page 3 of 4) DRUG/ DRUG CLASS Opioids ROLE IN THERAPY Avoid, if possible. Use only when other medications cannot be used, when sedation effects are not a concern, and when the risk for abuse has been addressed. 2 CONSIDERATIONS FOR USE Most evidence with burphanol nasal spray (formerly brand Stadol) but concerns exist about abuse and dependence. 1,2 High risk of causing medication overuse headaches. 9 Phenothiazines Adjunct, treat or prevent nausea and vomiting. 1 Monotherapy more effective than placebo in treatment of migraines. 8 Prochlorperazine has been used, orally (10 mg) and rectally (10 mg 2) for nausea and vomiting, but less evidence support use vs meclopramide. 1 cause extrapyramidal side effects. 1 Tramadol Avoid. 1 There is insufficient evidence support the use of tramadol alone or with acetaminophen. 1 Potential for abuse or dependence. 1 Withdrawal syndrome may occur with discontinuation. 1 Triptans First-line therapy in moderate severe migraine attacks. 1 Injectable or intranasal triptans may provide faster onset and be useful in patients with vomiting Triptans eletriptan (Relpax) and frovatriptan (Frova) may be beneficial for patients who suffer from recurrent headaches. 1 Patients who do not respond one triptan may respond a different triptan. 1 Addition of an NSAID may improve triptan efficacy and reduce headache recurrence. 1 For help choosing between the triptans see our PL Chart, Comparison of Triptans (U.S. subscribers; Canadian subscribers).

5 PL Detail-Document # This PL Detail-Document gives subscribers additional insight related the Recommendations published in PHARMACIST S LETTER / PRESCRIBER S LETTER November 2013 Comparison of Triptans Triptans are appropriate for moderate severe migraines. Many patients prefer oral options (Imitrex DF, Maxalt, etc), but injectable (Imitrex, etc) and intranasal (Imitrex Nasal, Zomig) options are more effective and have a faster onset. Suggest an injectable for migraines that build rapidly, occur upon awakening, or are accompanied by early vomiting. Lean ward a nasal formulation for those who usually vomit later in the attack; intranasal triptans are partially absorbed through the nasal mucosa. An oral triptan can be used for patients with mild nausea. ly disintegrating tablets (Maxalt RPD, Zomig Rapimelt, etc) don t have a faster onset, but are more convenient take and may be a good choice if oral liquids worsen nausea. The chart below provides dosing, pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, contraindications, and cost information for the triptans available in Canada. --Information from Canadian product monographs a unless otherwise noted-- Drug Route Dose Supplied Max Dose Amerge (naratriptan) Glaxo SmithKline Generic available 1 mg or after 4 hr 1 mg of 8) of 2, 6, or 8) Onset Tmax Half- Life (24 hr) 1 hr 2 hr 5 hr 74% 3 hr 1 3 hr 1 8 hr 1 (females) 63% (males) 1 Adverse Effects b,e : nausea 6.3%, 2.2%, 2.4%, 2.1%, 1.7%, paresthesia 1.5% Bioavailability Contraindicated Drugs c 24 hr of other triptans or Comments c Not contraindicated with MAOIs.
