  • Title: Do family physicians fail to provide triptans for patients with migraine?
    Author: Walling A, Woolley DC, Molgaard C, Kallail KJ.
    Journal: J Fam Pract; 2006 Dec; 55(12):1057-62. PubMed ID: 17137542.
    Abstract:
    While continuing to improve recognition of migraine in your patient population, pay particular attention to the adherence rate among those for whom you have prescribed a triptan. Ask patients who discontinue triptan therapy why they made that decision. Besides adverse effects from the agent, reasons may include medication cost, influence of comorbidities, or triptan interaction with medications you may not have known about.
