The triptans that are available now have been available for some time now. It doesn't look like there is much interest from the pharmaceutical companies in making sure that every triptan that comes out also comes out with an injection, dissolving tablet, or nasal spray.
Keep in mind that just because you have tried one triptan medication does not mean you will respond the same to all of them. Many people respond better to one than another.
Imitrex: tablet, nasal spray, injection
Zomig: tablet, nasal spray, orally disintegrating tablet
Maxalt: tablet, orally disintegrating tablet
Axert: tablet
Relpax: tablet
Amerge: tablet
Frova: tablet
Treximet: tablet
Treximet is the newest of the bunch. It contains Imitrex along with the main ingredient in Aleve (which can help it last longer, reduce inflammation better). If you absolutely need to have your triptan as an injection, you may want to try taking Imitrex as an injection, and then once the nausea dies down - taking a couple Aleve (or prescription Naproxen).

I will no longer be taking my allergy shots. T

Do Swine Flu injection hurt?
Well, in our school, we had the choice of the nasal spray or the shot. You had a choice and I as a smart person chose nasal spray. So im not really sure if it hurts, but I think it is the same as any other injection. Hope I helped! PS: I live in Eagle River Alaska PPS: Yoshi rox! No one loves Yoshi more than I do!
Can Swine Flu vaccination be taken during pregnancy?
In the US, pregnant women can get the injection but not the nasal spray vaccine. The virus in the vaccine that is made to be used in a shot is dead/deactivated. The virus in the vaccine that is made to be used as a nasal spray is weakened (attenuated), it is not strong enough to make you sick, but there have not been clinical trials or approval for use of nasal spray vaccinations for swine flu in pregnant women yet. See also the related questions below and the related links section for information about flu vaccinations in pregnancy from the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
