Triptans causing vasoconstriction.
09/24/08
I read that Frova causes arteries to constrict. If I stop taking Frova, do the arteries return to normal size or do they stay narrow forever? Also, after taking Frova for 2 years, if i stop completely, will my arteries ever return to normal size? What I'm trying to ask is if Frova can cause permanent problems with vasoconstriction??

Triptans do work, in part, by causing blood vessels to constrict in order to counteract the blood vessel dilation that a Migraine attack causes. The blood vessels return to "normal" size when the medication wears off. No, triptans don't cause permanent problems with vasoconstriction.
