*** U.S. FDA approves Merck's new migraine drug



A new migraine drug that can be taken as a pill with water or

dissolved straight on the tongue won approval from the U.S. Food and

Drug Administration Tuesday. Merck & Co. Inc.  said the FDA approved

two versions of the drug - one taken in the normal pill form and

another using a new technology that lets it dissolve straight on the

tongue. Merck said that Maxalt, known generically as rizatriptan

benzoate, worked well in trials of more than 2,000 migraine patients.

"In these studies, approximately seven in 10 patients who took Maxalt

10 mg reported pain relief at two hours; six in 10 patients who took

Maxalt 5 mg reported pain relief at two hours." See
