Q

the aura of migraine is caused by?

A

spreading depression wave in the primary visual cortex (17) in the brain

Q

5HT1 agonists aid in migraine tx by three mechs

A
  1. inhibit sensory nerve discharge from periphery to CNS
  2. inhibit release of CGRP in periphery therfore abating neuroinflammation
  3. inihibit NO from dilating extracerebral blood vessels thus hindering sensory nerve discharge

Q

5HTD and 5HTF receptors are found

A

presynaptically and triptan activation increases Ca entry…this inhibits CGRP release

Q

5HT1B receptors are found

A

in blood vessels, agonism causes vasoconstriction

*local inflammatory mediators of the migrain had caused dilation-thus these throbbing

central serotonin and peripheral vasoconstrictor (alpha)

also decrease amine reuptake

CAD, sepsis, M,. uncontroleld HTN,

41

hepatic metabolism with renal eliminiation

A

erghot amines

42
Q

triptan affected by concurrent cyp3a4 inhibitor

A

eletriptan

43
Q

triptans when given with propranolol cause increase in blood levels of the triptan

A

elitriptan,. rizatriptan, zolmitriptan

44
Q

MAO inhibtos inhibit the breakdown of these triptans

A

rizatriptan, sumatriptan, zolmitriptan

45
Q

do ergots work better or worse than triptans

A

worse bro

46
Q

pt.s unresponsive to triptans can get

A

ergots

47
Q

contraindicated in lactation

A

ergots

48
Q

tetratogens

A

ergots

49
Q

ergots and beta blockers or dopamine

A

potentiate vasoconstrcition

50
Q

ergots and strong CYP3a4 inhibitor

A

increased ergot perisistence thus increase vasoconstriciton

51

triptaps plus ergots

A

24 hour rule???

52

migrains in pregnancy

A

worse in 1st trimester-when fetus most suceptible

acetaminophen only agent used

begin on the 9th day of the cycle and take them through the second day of the next cyle

55
Q

OCP’s and migraine with aura

A

these patients should only get Combine OCP’s

2 x risk for aura migraine and 2 x risk of OCP
these are multuiplicative rather than additive risk
