Active Ingredient: Lasmiditan
Lasmiditan is indicated for the acute treatment of the headache phase of migraine attacks, with or without aura in adults.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
For:
Oral, between 50 milligrams lasmiditan and 200 milligrams lasmiditan, one dose.
In general, recommended initial dose in adults is 100 mg lasmiditan for acute treatment of migraine attacks. If necessary, the dose can be increased to 200 mg for greater efficacy or can be decreased to 50 mg for greater tolerability.
If the migraine headache recurs within 24 hours of an initial response after taking 50 mg or 100 mg lasmiditan, a second dose of the same strength may be taken. The second dose should not be taken within 2 hours of the initial dose.
No more than 200 mg should be taken in 24 hours.
If a patient does not respond to the first dose, it is unlikely that a second dose will be of benefit in the same attack.
Lasmiditan may be taken with or without food.
