Triptans Can Prevent Menstrual Migraine
From Nurse Practitioner, 9/1/04

Women who suffer from menstrual migraines, which can develop between 2 days before and 4 days after the onset of menses, may now find relief by taking one of the newer triptan drugs-frovatriptan (Frova). Women who took the drug a few days before they would normally get a menstrual migraine suffered fewer migraines during their periods. For women who did get a migraine, the symptoms were less severe and did not last as long, according to the July issue of Neurology.

The researchers recommended that women who opt to take frovatriptan should start the treatment 2 days before they expect to get their period and continue for 6 or 7 days.
