Zomig

Zolmitriptan is an oral, selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 1B/1D (5-HT 1B/1D ) receptor agonist, or triptan, for acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura. First launched in 1997, it is one of the second generation of triptan. It is available in tablet form, as a rapidly dissolving tablet that can be taken without water, and as a nasal spray.

People with migraines are often sensitive to artificial sweeteners, and should be aware that Zomg-ZMT (the dissolving tablet) contains aspartame, and hence conatin phenylalanine.

Zolmitriptan is marketed by AstraZeneca with the brand names Zomig, Zomigon (Greece & Argentina) and AscoTop (Germany).

AstraZeneca launches Zomig DTC campaign
From Drug Store News, 11/29/99

AstraZeneca has launched a new Zomig DTC television campaign demonstrating the impact migraine has on a sufferer's ability to handle daily responsibilities. The ads build on the findings of a recent survey that found 41 percent of migraine sufferers were most disturbed by the belief they let their families down during a headache. According to the survey, 85 percent of women with debilitating headaches said they are unable to tend to their responsibilities at home when headaches strike. The new, "Migraine Pain Relief-Anytime" campaign was designed to "tap into these feelings about responsibility."

The television ad opens with a young boy standing outside of a room where his mother lies in bed, incapacitated by a migraine. After taking Zomig, the next day she is back to her normal activities and able to play with her son.
