What is Frova?
Frova is a prescription medication classified as a selective serotonin receptor agonist (SSRA) within the triptan class of drugs. Its primary mechanism of action involves targeting serotonin receptors to constrict blood carrying vessels in the brain and alleviate migraines. This constriction helps to reduce pain and other migraine symptoms.
Frova is not available over the counter; it requires a prescription from a healthcare provider. It is commonly found in tablet form, and the dosing regimen typically involves taking one tablet as soon as a migraine attack begins, with the option to take a second tablet if necessary after two hours, but not exceeding the prescribed dosage.

How fast does Frova work?

Is Frovatriptan stronger than sumatriptan?
While Frovatriptan reduces the likelihood of headache recurrence, it is less effective than sumatriptan at relieving headache pain two and four hours after oral delivery.
Who should avoid Frova?
Frova should not be used if you have ever experienced a heart attack or stroke, severe liver disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, circulation issues, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, heart disease, coronary artery disease, or a headache that doesn't seem to be the same as your typical migraine headaches.
What not to take while on Frova?
While taking Frovatriptan, avoiding other triptans or ergotamine medications is important because of Frova interactions, as this can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Additionally, combining it with MAO inhibitors, certain antidepressants, or St. John's Wort can lead to adverse interactions.
How long does Frova stay in your system?
The half-life of Frovatriptan, the time it takes for half of the drug to be eliminated from the body, is approximately 26 hours. Generally, it takes about five half-lives for a medication to be cleared from the system. It may take several days for Frovatriptan to be eliminated from the body.
