Treximet, a new sumatriptan and naproxen combination tablet for migraines

June 2008

Reps will be promoting Treximet, a new sumatriptan and naproxen combination tablet for migraines.

The combo tablet makes sense for the company since generic sumatriptan will hit the market early next year.

The combo also makes sense for some patients. It can work better than a triptan or NSAID alone to relieve migraines.
