WHAT MYLATRIP IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Mylatrip contains the active ingredient frovatriptan which belongs to
a group of medicines called triptans.
Mylatrip is used to treat migraine headache in adults.

Migraine symptoms may be caused by the widening of blood vessels in
the head. Mylatrip is
thought to reduce the widening of these blood vessels. This helps to
take away the headache and
other symptoms of a migraine attack, such as feeling or being sick
(nausea or vomiting) and being
sensitive to light and sound.

Mylatrip works only when a migraine headache has started. You should
not take Mylatrip to prevent
migraines occuring.

4. Clinical particulars
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Acute treatment of the headache phase of migraine attacks with or
without aura.
Frovatriptan is indicated in adults.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Posology
Frovatriptan should be taken as early as possible after the onset of a
migraine attack but it is also effective
when taken at a later stage. Frovatriptan should not be used
prophylactically.
If a patient does not respond to the first dose of frovatriptan, a
second dose should not be taken for the
same attack, since no benefit has been shown. Frovatriptan may be used
for subsequent migraine attacks.
_Adults (18 to 65 years of age)_
The recommended dose of frovatriptan is 2.5 mg.
If the migraine recurs after initial relief, a second dose may be
taken, providing there is an interval of at
least 2 hours between the two doses.
The total daily dose should not exceed 5 mg per day.
_Paediatric population_ (under 18 years)
The safety and efficacy of frovatriptan in children and adolescents
below the age of 18 years have not
been established. Therefore, its use in this age group is not
recommended. No data are available.
_Older people (over 65 years)_
Frovatriptan data in patients over 65 years remain limited. Therefore,
its use in this category of patients is
not recommended.
_Renal impairment_
No dosage adjustment is required in patients with renal impairment
(see sect
