There is a solution for people who can't swallow medicine in pill form (or simply don't like to do so). Orally disintegrating tablets are a relatively new form of pill. The tablet dissolves on the tongue and may be taken with or without water. In some cases, an added bonus of the oral disintegration is that the medicine takes effect faster.

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).
