THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Serotonin and Tryptamine Antagonist
Migraine Prophylaxis
ACTION
Sandomigran (pizotifen as hydrogen malate) is a strong serotonin and
tryptamine antagonist,
with weak anticholinergic, anti-histaminic and anti-kinin effects. It
also possesses sedative and
appetite-stimulating properties.
The mode of action of Sandomigran in preventing migraine is not fully
understood but it is
known to inhibit the permeability increasing effect of serotonin and
histamine to control the
transudation of plasmakinin across cranial vessel membranes, an effect
which may alter pain
thresholds. Sandomigran also inhibits serotonin re-uptake by blood
platelets, impacting tonicity
and decreasing passive distension of extracranial arteries.
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE
Sandomigran (pizotifen as hydrogen malate) may be used for the
prophylactic management of
migraine.
- 3 -
_ _
In various clinical trials, about 1/3 to 2/3 of patients with migraine
experienced some benefit
from Sandomigran and in most trials it was more effective than placebo
in reducing the
frequency or severity of attacks.
Sandomigran is not useful for the clinical treatment of acute
migrainous attack or for the
treatment of tension headaches.
