Is there a new shot or nasal spray for migraine headaches?

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).


Does Imitrex nasal spray work faster than the Imitrex pill?

Yes, Imitrex nasal spray typically works faster than the Imitrex pill. The nasal spray allows for quicker absorption into the bloodstream, providing relief from migraine symptoms in about 15 to 30 minutes, compared to the oral tablet, which may take 30 to 60 minutes or longer to take effect. This faster onset can be particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing acute migraine attacks.
