>> Frovatriptan sales are forecast to reach Dollars 250m <<

I feel that a long half-life triptan could do much better than this. Anecdote from a single headache victim!

When I first got a prescription for Maxalt, I would have cringed at the thought of out-of-pocket expense of $8 per headache. That's the perspective of someone who has come to expect hours of rest in dark/silence/prayer to allow for marginal relief. Now, having experienced the (anecdote) "night and day" results from a triptan, I'd pay $50, no sweat.

I don't know anything about the percentage of headache victims who will be helped by triptans. Maybe I'm an exception, and I've never considered mine to be classical migraines. However, Maxalt is a miracle drug for me. I expect the triptan market to explode.

Frovie could be a sleeper.
