Migraine and the Excessive Dispensation of Triptans: A Real-World Evidence Study of Colombian Patients

In this study conducted in a middle- to low-income Latin American country, triptans were commonly dispensed for patients with migraine, and their dosage did not comply with the recommendations of clinical practice guidelines for some patients. Increasing age, history of migraine ≥10 years, previous use of simple analgesics, and the presence of concomitant psychiatric disorders were associated with a higher probability of MOH. These findings reflect prescribing and dispensing patterns within the studied health-care context and may not fully represent the use of over-the-counter triptans or practices in other settings.
