What is Trudhesa?
Trudhesa is a nasal delivery for dihydroergotamine (DHE) and is FDA approved for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Features include rapid onset of action, sustained pain freedom for 48 hours, and no evidence of medication overuse headache. Drawbacks include vasoconstriction making it contraindicated for those with uncontrolled high blood pressure or coronary artery disease. It can be very effective in helping a severe or prolonged migraine attack as it reaches IV concentrations in 30 minutes. It cannot be combined with a triptan in the same 24 hours and should not be used in pregnancy.

Zavzpret is a newly FDA approved nasal spray of Zavegepant, a CGRP receptor antagonist, and is for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. It is in the same class as Ubrelvy and Nurtec-both oral CGRP receptor antagonists. The dose is 1 spray of 10 mg in 1 nostril in 24 hours. It may work faster than the oral CGRP receptor antagonists, also known as gepants, since it is delivered nasally. Side-effects include bad taste and nausea. It is expected to be available in pharmacies by July 2023.

Our medical office suite was flooded on Saturday, September 24th, when a hot water pipe from the office above us burst. The water damage is severe. Repairs will take at least two months. During this time the office will remain physically closed. We are completely operational for virtual visits, prescription refills, email correspondence, filling out forms, and answering questions you may have. Becky, our wonderful receptionist, will retrieve messages and return calls.
