Almotriptan is a triptan drug for the treatment of migraine headaches. Almotriptan is marketed under the trade name Axert. Almotriptan is used for treating acute migraine headaches with or without aura (eg, dark spots, flashing lights, wavy lines). Almotriptan binds with high affinity to 5-HT1D, 5-HT1B, and 5-HT1F receptors. Almotriptan has weak affinity for 5-HT1A and 5-HT7 receptors, but has no significant affinity or pharmacological activity at 5-HT2, 5-HT3, 5-HT4, 5-HT6; alpha or beta adrenergic; adenosine (A1, A2); angiotensin (AT1, AT2); dopamine (D1, D2); endothelin (ETA, ETB); or tachykinin (NK1, NK2, NK3) binding sites.

Adolescents Age 12 to 17 Years Almotriptan tablets are indicated for the acute treatment of migraine headache pain in patients with a history of migraine attacks with or without aura usually lasting 4 hours or more (when untreated). 1.2 Important Limitations Almotriptan tablets should only be used where a clear diagnosis of migraine has been established. If a patient has no response for the first migraine attack treated with almotriptan tablets, the diagnosis of migraine should be reconsidered before almotriptan tablets are administered to treat any subsequent attacks. In adolescents age 12 to 17 years, efficacy of almotriptan tablets on migraine-associated symptoms (nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia) was not established. Almotriptan tablets are not intended for the prophylactic therapy of migraine or for use in the management of hemiplegic or basilar migraine [see Contraindications (4.7) Launch Date 2001

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Adults and adolescents age 12 to 17 years: 6.25 mg or 12.5 mg single dose; may repeat after 2 hours if headache returns; benefit of second dose in patients who have failed to respond to first dose has not been established; maximum daily dose 25 mg Patients with hepatic or severe renal impairment: 6.25 mg starting dose; maximum daily dose 12.5 mg

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

In vitro Almotriptan showed selectivity of action for migraine-related human arteries (i.e. contractile EC(50) of 30 and 700 nm for meningeal and temporal arteries, respectively), whereas the effect on arteries supplying blood to the brain was lower.
