- Title
Sumatriptan Fast-Disintegrating/Rapid-Release Tablets: A Viewpoint by Andrew J. Dowson.
- Authors
Dowson, Andrew J.
- Abstract
The article presents Andrew J. Dowson's viewpoint on sumatriptan fast-disintegrating/ rapid-release (fd/rr) tablets. Dowson comments that guidelines for migraine management advises that all patients should take acute medications to relieve headaches as they occur. He argues that the effectivity of oral therapy shows inconsistency in treating migraine attacks due to gastric stasis, usually associated with migraine, which can reduce absorption of medications and effectiveness. He claims that sumatriptan fd/rr tablets was made to improve tablet disintegration, drug dispersion, and potentially enhance absorption and efficacy.
