Aegis Therapeutics LLC announced today that it has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 8,440,631, its second patent providing fast acting formulations for triptans, a class of drugs that are effective in treating migraine headaches which include sumatriptan, zolmitriptan, naratriptan, rizatriptan, eletriptan, almotriptan and frovatriptan.

A new form of migraine therapy has been approved by the FDA. This migraine intervention comes in the form of a patch, either wrapped around the upper arm or thigh.

"The patch is an electrical skin patch," said Dr. Stewart of the Cleveland Clinic.
