Frovatriptan Succinate Tablets Dosage and Administration
Dosing Information
The recommended dose is a single tablet of frovatriptan succinate (frovatriptan 2.5 mg) taken orally with fluids.

The safety of treating an average of more than 4 migraine attacks in a 30-day period has not been established.
