Important Safety Information

Serious or potentially life-threatening reductions in blood flow to the brain or extremities due to interactions between dihydroergotamine (the active ingredient in Trudhesa) and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (such as protease inhibitors and macrolide antibiotics) have been reported rarely. As a result, these medications should not be taken together.

Indication

Trudhesa is used to treat an active migraine headache with or without aura in adults. Do not use Trudhesa to prevent migraine when you have no symptoms. It is not known if Trudhesa is safe and effective in children.

Do not use Trudhesa if you:

Have any disease affecting your heart, arteries, or blood circulation
Are taking certain anti-HIV medications known as protease inhibitors (such as ritonavir or nelfinavir)
Are taking a macrolide antibiotic such as clarithromycin or erythromycin
Are taking certain antifungals such as ketoconazole or itraconazole
Have taken certain medications such as triptans or ergot-type medications for the treatment or prevention of migraine within the last 24 hours
Have taken any medications that constrict your blood vessels or raise your blood pressure
Have severe liver or kidney disease
Are allergic to ergotamine or dihydroergotamine

Before taking Trudhesa, tell your doctor if:

You have high blood pressure, chest pain, shortness of breath, heart disease; or risk factors for heart disease (such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, smoking, strong family history of heart disease or you are postmenopausal, or male over 40); or problems with blood circulation in your arms, legs, fingers, or toes.
You have or had any disease of the liver or kidney.
You are taking any prescription or over-the-counter medications, including vitamins or herbal supplements.
You are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or are nursing, or have ever stopped medication due to an allergy or bad reaction.
This headache is different from your usual migraine attacks.

The use of Trudhesa should not exceed dosing guidelines and should not be used on a daily basis.

Serious cardiac (heart) events, including some that have been fatal, have occurred following the use of dihydroergotamine mesylate, particularly with dihydroergotamine for injection, but are extremely rare.

You may experience some nasal congestion or irritation, altered sense of taste, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and fatigue after using Trudhesa.

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience:

Numbness or tingling in your fingers and toes
Severe tightness, pain, pressure, heaviness, or discomfort in your chest
Muscle pain or cramps in your arms or legs
Cold feeling or color changes in 1 or both legs or feet
Sudden weakness
Slurred speech
Swelling or itching
