Frova.
Pronounced: FROE-va
Generic name: Frovatriptan succinate
Why is this drug prescribed?
Frova is used to relieve attacks of migraine headache. It's helpful whether or not the headache is preceded by an aura (visual disturbances such as seeing halos or flickering lights).
Experts think that migraines are caused by the expansion of blood vessels serving the brain, and that this expansion is triggered by a decline in the level of serotonin, one of the brain's chief chemical messengers. Frova works by restoring serotonin levels to normal. It belongs to a class of drugs called "serotonin agonists."
Most important fact about this drug
Frova can quell migraine attacks once they've begun, but it won't prevent them before they start. It should not be used for certain rare types of migraine called "hemiplegic migraine" or "basilar migraine," and it is not recommended for the "cluster headaches" that tend to affect older men.
