Meta Analysis
Meta-analysis examining the efficacy and safety of almotriptan in the acute treatment of migraine.
To evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of oral almotriptan in treating acute migraine attacks. ⋯ Almotriptan 12.5 mg is an effective treatment for acute attacks of migraine, in particular, it has been found to be as effective as sumatriptan 100 mg and zolmitriptan 2.5 mg. The risk of adverse events associated with almotriptan 12.5 mg was similar to placebo and significantly lower than sumatriptan 100 mg. Further research is required to assess the comparative efficacy of almotriptan against other triptans.
