New Migraine Abortive Telcagepant Performs Well In Trials

Hell-o Teri,

 

Hope all is well with you. Appreciate all the effort that goes into educating everyone on the web about migraines and all that follows.

 

My question is; I do take Inderal to help in aborting  the pain associated with my head. For a couple years  I   was taking the oral tablet. Then came the injectable Imitrex. This I was somewhat nervous about and to be honest...scared.  Once I had the injectable in control and started on topa  an injection of Imitrex worked out for really well for me. Many times in about 20 minutes I can feel the med starting to work.  So, I was a little hesitant in taking "telcagepant" in oral form if it preformed as well as what I have been on for a good 10 years or so.

 

Anyway, just wondering.

 

Best wishes to you always!
