Activity Description

Almotriptan is a medication used in the management and treatment of acute migraines. The medication is in the triptan 5-HT class of drugs. Participating clinicians review the indications, actions, and contraindications for almotriptan as a valuable agent in treating and managing acute migraines.

This activity highlights the mechanism of action, adverse effects, and vital factors such as dosing, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, monitoring, and relevant interactions pertinent for interprofessional team members in treating and caring for patients with acute migraines and related conditions. The interprofessional team, ranging from primary care clinicians and emergency clinicians to specialists, benefit from guideline-specific practices.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the indications for almotriptan use.

  • Differentiate between various migraine types and accurately diagnose those suitable for almotriptan intervention, considering factors such as aura, frequency, and associated symptoms.

  • Implement evidence-based guidelines in the use of almotriptan for acute migraine attacks, including dosage adjustments and appropriate timing of administration.

  • Collaborate with the interprofessional team to coordinate a comprehensive approach to migraine management, especially in cases requiring a multidisciplinary perspective.
