Microsite

Have you heard of Pharmageddon 2012? If you follow the pharmaceutical industry on social media at all, it’s almost impossible not to. It’s on YouTube, Facebook, Flickr. It has it’s own blog on the Wordpress site, it’s listed on Technocrati, there’s an RSS feed and they’re also on Twitter.

Treximet (formerly known as Trexima) is a medication manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline and POZEN Pharmaceutical Development Company for the treatment of migraines.
It combines sumatriptan (as the succinate), a selective 5-hydroxytryptamine1 (5-HT1) receptor subtype agonist and naproxen sodium, a member of the arylacetic acid group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), to provide better relief than plain sumatriptan 85 mg, (ie: Imitrex) and anti-inflammatory painkiller, naproxen sodium (the active ingredient in Aleve and Naprosyn) 500 mg, alone would do.
