Telcagepant

All of you with migraine will have heard by now that there is a new drug coming out. This unimaginatively named Telcagepant is into its 4th stage of testing, so near to release I h ope.
It sounds hopeful. As good and btter than Triptans and useful as prophylactic as well as abortive. Also seems to have a longer half life.
Can't wait.
Does anyone know more....please share.

I have not heard of it, but I am going to research it. My migraines have been coming alot lately. I believe it is the turning of the weather, and the snow. My migraines are brought on by bright lights and when the sun hits the snow, it kills me. I just have to keep going and try not to let it get me down. If I get the spots early enough, sometimes I can get rid of quickly. Let us hope someone can help us migraine sufferers.
