Tosymra - Drug Insight and Forecast, 2018

Tosymra, previously known as DFN-02, an intranasal spray containing sumatriptan (10 mg) and a 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonist developed by Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited and its subsidiary Promius Pharma, LLC, is approved by the USFDA in January, 2019 for the acute migraine. In a multicenter, double blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study, Tosymra was found to be safe, effective and well tolerated. As compared to the other sumatriptan products, Tosymra is contradicted in patients with a history of coronary artery disease or coronary artery vasospasm, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome or arrhythmias associated with other cardiac accessory conduction pathway disorders, history of stroke, transient ischemic attack, or history of hemiplegic or basilar migraine because these patients are at a higher risk of stroke, peripheral vascular disease, ischemic bowel disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or severe hepatic impairment. The spray contains a permeation-enhancing excipient (Intravail), which allows the product to be quickly absorbed into the systemic circulation while demonstrating a similar pharmacokinetic profile as subcutaneous sumatriptan.
