Popis: Pharmacologic symptomatic treatment of headache attacks is an essential strategy for effective management of patients with migraine. Choosing a medication requires an individualized approach and consideration of patient profile, characteristics of ictal manifestations of migraine, and personal experience in headache relief. Among the recommended medications, triptans are the first choice therapy. The pharmacologic differences among triptans allow selection of the most effective drug depending on the individual needs of the patient. Considering the primary importance of characteristics such as speed and duration of pain relief, as well as the consistency of effect in interrupting successive attacks, the choice of rizatriptan may be optimal for migraine patients.
