What is Frova?
Frova is a headache medicine that narrows blood vessels around the brain. This medicine also reduces substances in the body that can trigger headache pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms.
Frova is used to treat migraine headaches. This medicine will only treat a headache that has already begun. It will not prevent headaches or reduce the number of attacks.
Frova should not be used to treat a common tension headache, or a headache that causes loss of movement on one side of your body. Use Frova only if your condition has been confirmed by a doctor as migraine headaches.
Frova may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Warnings
You should not use Frova if you have ever had heart disease, coronary artery disease, blood circulation problems, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, uncontrolled high blood pressure, severe liver disease, a heart attack or stroke, or if your headache seems to be different from your usual migraine headaches.
Do not take Frova within 24 hours before or after using another migraine headache medicine.
