- Name
- Dihydroergotamine mesylate
- Drug Entry
- Dihydroergotamine
A 9,10alpha-dihydro derivative of ergotamine. Dihydroergotamine is used as an abortive therapy for migraines.10 Its use has largely been supplanted by triptans in current therapy due to the class's greater selectivity and more favourable side effect profile.
Recent improvements have been made in the design of intranasal delivery devices allowing for greater delivery of dihydroergotamine solution to the vasculature-rich upper nasal cavity.7 The recently approved Precision Olfactory Delivery technology developed by Impel Neuropharma technology has correlated with an increase of 3-fold in Cmax and 4-fold in AUC despite the solution formulated at 75% of the strength of the existing intranasal product.
