They take too long

To work quickly, oral medications like pills and tablets rely on a digestive system that’s readily able to absorb medication. And often, nausea, vomiting, and other GI-related disorders and symptoms can accompany a migraine attack and delay absorption.

Trudhesa™ delivers medication to the upper nasal space where it can be quickly absorbed and quickly go to work.

They don’t last long enough

In a survey of people who take an oral acute prescription medication, nearly 2 out of 5 reported relief wore off just 24 hours after taking their medication. More than half said they continue to have moderate to severe disability.*

For many, Trudhesa can provide relief that lasts up to 2 days with a single dose, time after time.

They have time limits on dosing

Many oral medications need to be taken within the first 60 minutes of a migraine attack to be most effective. But you know that’s not always possible.

Trudhesa is proven to work on migraine symptoms even when taken late into a migraine attack, so you can take it on your terms.†

Trudhesa Difference

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
