Get Frova Online

Frova (frovatriptan) is a selective serotonin 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist, a class of drugs called triptans. During a migraine, blood vessels in the brain dilate and inflammatory neuropeptides are released. Frovatriptan constricts those blood vessels and blocks neuropeptide release, reducing the pain and associated symptoms of a migraine attack.

Frova works best when taken at the first sign of a migraine headache. It is not intended to prevent migraines or to treat cluster headaches. If your headache returns after an initial response, a second dose may be taken at least 2 hours after the first, but no more than 3 tablets (7.5 mg) should be taken in a 24-hour period.

Most patients begin to notice pain relief within 2 to 4 hours of taking Frova. Its longer half-life of about 26 hours compared to other triptans means it may be especially effective for migraines that tend to come back or for menstrually associated migraines that can last several days.

The most commonly reported side effects include dizziness, headache, paresthesia (tingling or numbness), fatigue, dry mouth, and flushing. Chest tightness or pressure can occur and should be reported to your doctor promptly. Serious cardiovascular events are rare but possible, which is why a physician will review your cardiac history before prescribing.

Frova is not appropriate for people with a history of coronary artery disease, uncontrolled hypertension, stroke or TIA, peripheral vascular disease, hemiplegic or basilar migraine, or known hypersensitivity to frovatriptan. It should also not be used within 24 hours of another triptan or ergotamine-containing medication due to the risk of additive vasoconstriction.

Frova is approved only for acute (as-needed) treatment of migraine attacks, not for daily prevention. However, some physicians use short-term frovatriptan dosing around the time of menstruation as a mini-preventive strategy for menstrually associated migraine. This off-label use should be discussed with your treating physician.
