Auradol uses


Auradol (FrovaВ®) is a triptan drug developed by Vernalis for the treatment of migraine headaches, in particular those associated with menstruation. The product is licensed to Endo Pharmaceuticals in North America and Menarini in Europe.1 Auradol causes vasoconstriction of arteries and veins that supply blood to the head. It is available as 2.5 mg tablets. Frovatriptan has mean terminal elimination half-life of approximately 26 hours, which is substantially longer than other triptans. Frovatriptan is available only by prescription in the United States, where a secondary New Drug Approval (sNDA) was filed in July 20062 and which is currently pending.3 The FDA anticipates completing its review of this application on or before the current PDUFA (Prescription Drug User Fee Act) review date of August 19, 2007. If the sNDA is approved, FrovaВ® will be the only medication indicated in the U.S. for the short-term prevention of menstrual migraine (MM).

Indication: For the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults.

Auradol is a second generation triptan 5-HT receptor agonist that binds with high affinity for 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors. It is structurally distinct from, but pharmacologically related to other selective 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonists. Auradol has no significant effects on GABAA mediated channel activity and has no significant affinity for benzodiazepine binding sites. Auradol is believed to act on extracerebral, intracranial arteries and to inhibit excessive dilation of these vessels in migraine. Research has shown that migraine can be caused by the swelling of blood vessels around the brain. Auradol eases the pain associated with migraine by narrowing these blood vessels. Auradol has one of the highest affinities for the 5-HT1B of the second-generation triptan agonists.
