Jan 19, 2010, Needle Free Sumatriptan Injectable- Sumavel Is Here!
Well it is finally here! For those of you who have always wanted a truly fast acting triptan for your migraines, but hate the thought of a needle, the answer is here.
Sumatriptan (generic form of Imitrex) is now available in a needle free injectable.
It really is a very easy system to use. Pull the cap off, pull down a plastic latch, put up to your skin and press. There is a soft "woosh" and the sumatriptan is on it's way to abolish that migraine.
I just received a demonstrator injector today..the samples or coupons should be available soon.
The link is to the Zogenix website, the makers of the product which is called Sumavel DosePro.
This should be a great option to avoid the sting of injections. After all, the pain of a migraine is enough to deal with don't you think?

Jan 13, 2010, Female Migraineurs May Be Resistant To Aspirin
A recent study was released by the National Headache Foundation regarding women who take aspirin. The study was done at two centers, the University of Washington, and in Sweden.
Many women in their 30's,40's and 50's are placed on low dose aspirin for stroke prevention. Most doctors believe this is enough, and recommend it as migraine can increase the risk of stroke.
This study of 650 people, demonstrated that 24% of female migraineurs on aspirin are resistant at that dose. What does this mean? It means the aspirin is not working to thin the blood the way it should.
If it is working then the patient is "sensitive".
We perform aspiring sensitivity testing in our practice. It is a simple blood test offered at major stroke centers, but unfortunately is not a standard test you can get at a lab.
Ususally when patients are resistant, I double the dose and restest in a few weeks. With very few exceptions, patients will become sensistive but it is a dose response between 162mg to rarely 650mg per day.
Clearly this is an area of concern to people with migraine headache symptoms and who may have other stroke risk factors such as smoking, obesity or birth control pills. Even family history of stroke is a risk factor.
If you are concerned, talk to your doctor. There may be a stroke center in your area offering this test. Someday it may become a standard test but for now you have to find it.
Good luck! Mary Kay
