Migraine with aura (MwA) sufferers, at times, need specific treatments. This is the case when the auras are frequent, prolonged and cause anxiety and distress. Abnormal release of glutamate, which may trigger auras, and abnormal platelet behaviour, which constitutes a
The increased prostaglandin synthesis that might follow stimulation of the arachidonic acid cascade by angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibition (ACE-I) has been suggested to underlie the appearance of cough on ACE-I treatment. We investigated whether the prostanoid thromboxane was involved. Nine patients with

The potential compatibilities of several commonly used pharmaceutical excipients with picotamide were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effects of aging and of mechanical treatment (blending, grinding, or kneading) of samples were also evaluated. Hot-stage microscopy (HSM) and scanning
