AU2009241847B2 — Novel formulations for treatment of migraine

USPTO Abstract

Systems and methods are described for treating un-met medical needs in migraine and related conditions such as cluster headache. Included are treatments that are both rapid onset and long acting, which include sustained release formulations, and combination products. Also included are treatments for multiple symptoms of migraine, especially headache and nausea and vomiting. Systems that are self contained, portable, prefilled, and simple to self administer at the onset of a migraine attack are disclosed, and preferably include a needle-free injector and a high viscosity formulation, to eliminate such issues as fear of self administration with needles, and needle stick and cross contamination.
