Rizatriptan versus rizatriptan plus rofecoxib versus rizatriptan plus tolfenamic acid in the acute treatment of migraine

Abstract: Background: Rizatriptan is an effective and fast acting drug for the acute treatment of migraine. Some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) have also demonstrated efficacy in treating migraine attacks. There is evidence that the combination of a triptan and a NSAID decreases migraine recurrence in clinical practice. The primary aim of this randomized open label study was to assess the recurrence rates in migraine sufferers acutely treated with rizatriptan (RI) alone vs. rizatriptan plus a COX-2 enzyme … Show more

“…It is well established that combining triptans with NSAIDs will result in an increased efficacy [80][81][82]. This has been demonstrated for several triptans, including rizatriptan and sumatriptan.…”

“…The combination of 10 mg rizatriptan plus 50 mg rofecoxib was more efficient than rizatriptan alone and the combination of rizatriptan plus 200 mg tolfenamic acid with regard to pain-free rates at 2 h and photophobia at 2-and 4-h timepoints. Recurrence was also significantly reduced with both combinations in comparison with rizatriptan alone [32]. These studies were not controlled (with the exception of the combination of sumatriptan plus naproxen sodium) but suggest an advantage of combining a triptan with an NSAID.…”
