Migraine is a commonly occurring disease across the globe. Triptans are a leading class of drugs prescribed in the treatment of migraine alone or as a combination therapy. These are the first line products for migraine for patients aged above 12 years. Various trials have proven the efficacy of triptans in the cure of the symptoms of migraine. Triptans are selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor agonists with high affinity for 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors. The mechanisms of action of triptans are reduction of inflammation, vasoconstriction, and modeling of the second-order receptors. A range of triptan formulations is available for patients with slight variations in efficacy. The global triptans market is projected to grow at a rapid pace due to increase in global population, especially female population that is more prone to migraines. Innovations in drug delivery systems such as development of transdermal patches of triptan drugs which are proven to increase the efficacy of the drug are likely to present opportunities for players seeking to establish themselves in the global triptans market.
