YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS..Elan says FDA approves migraine treatment
NEW YORK, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Irish drug maker Elan Corp Plc (NYSE:ELN - news) said on Friday U.S. regulators approved its migraine drug, called Frova.

Elan and industry watchers alike had greatly anticipated the approval of the drug. Analysts are forecasting the treatment will achieve peak sales of $213.7 million (150 million pounds) a year.

``The FDA's approval of Frova is a key milestone in advancing our pipeline of important products for patients with neurological disorders,'' Donal Geaney, chairman and chief executive of Elan, said in a statement.

Elan said 10 percent of the U.S. population suffer from migraine attacks, or about 27 million people.
