Описание

Sumatriptan succinate is a highly selective 5HT₁-like receptor agonist introduced as a new treatment for migraine. It is indicated for the acute relief of migraine and cluster headache. Oral administration is reported to be free of substantial side effects. The compound appears to be a significant advance over the use of ergotamine and other agents in the treatment of migraine.

Suprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent, was introduced in 1983 for use as an analgesic for the symptomatic relief of mild to moderate pain and for primary dysmenorrhoea. By 1986 it had become evident that its use was occasionally associated with flank pain sometimes accompanied by evidence of decreased renal function. The Arthritis Advisory Committee of the United States Food and Drug Administration met in December 1986 to review the situation and decided against withdrawing suprofen from the market. However, in May 1987 the Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products of the European Community recommended that all marketing authorizations should be suspended. The manufacturer subsequently decided to suspend sale worldwide on the grounds that sales had diminished to the point where the product was no longer economically viable.
