Some migraine treatments fail when patients need them the most.

See what types of patients may benefit from adding Trudhesa to the treatment toolbox.

Prescribe Trudhesa

Dissatisfied with migraine treatment.

Patient history
  • Has a long history of migraine with aura. Attacks cause her to cancel plans for the day
  • Has no other medical problems aside from hypertension that is under control with hydrochlorothiazide
  • Cannot get consistent relief with her triptan or gepant, so she’s inquiring about a more effective acute treatment
CHIEF COMPLAINT

Needs a reliable and tolerable treatment that can act fast and provide pain freedom, even if taken late.

Trudhesa Difference

Morning migraine with or without nausea.

Patient history
  • Has about 4 to 5 migraine days per month accompanied with nausea. Worst migraine attacks either come on rapidly or start before she wakes up
  • Attacks come on quickly. Oral triptan can’t provide pain relief
  • Misses 1 to 2 days of work every month
CHIEF COMPLAINT

Needs a reliable treatment that can provide pain freedom, even when taken late into an attack.

Trudhesa Difference

Migraine attacks that break through while on prevention.

Patient history
  • Diagnosed with migraine in high school
  • Has significant photosensitivity, but can’t wear sunglasses due to allodynia
  • Cannot tolerate triptans, and has been on a preventive anti-CGRP for a year, which has reduced her headache frequency by about half
  • Has tried gepants to treat her remaining attacks. However, they do not provide adequate pain freedom
CHIEF COMPLAINT

Needs a reliable and tolerable treatment that works differently from current medication and delivers pain freedom even when taken late into an attack.

Trudhesa Difference

Long-lasting migraine attack.

Patient history
  • Experiences attacks that last a couple of days, especially when attacks are associated with menstruation
  • Has been on an anti-CGRP and treats attacks with a gepant but struggles with getting sustained relief, often having to take multiple doses
  • Worries her attacks will keep her away from work for too long or result in missing family events
CHIEF COMPLAINT

Needs a medication that can provide rapid and sustained relief with one dose, even if taken late.

Trudhesa Difference
Consider asking your patients these questions to see if they may be right for Trudhesa:

Does a single dose of your current medication give you the migraine symptom relief you need for at least 24 hours?7

Do you feel like you can rely on your current acute medication to work when you need it to?5,7-9

Do you ever have any stomach issues or nausea when you’re having a migraine attack?10,11
Are you always able to take your migraine pill or dissolving tablet early enough for it to work?3,12
