Lasmiditan is an oral medication used in the termination of migraine headaches that was first approved for use in the United States in October 2019.[L9338,L9356] It was also approved by the European Commission on August 17, 2022. Traditionally, the triptan class of anti-migraine medications (e.g. [sumatriptan]) have seen preferential use in the acute treatment of migraines due to their relatively favourable efficacy and safety. Their use is not devoid of concerns, however, and their vasoconstrictive activity can lead to blood pressure lability and other cardiovascular side effects - for this reason, these medications are less suitable for use in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disorders. Triptans abort migraines via action at several serotonin receptors, including 5-HT<sub>1D</sub> and 5-HT<sub>1B</sub> receptors, and activity at the 5-HT<sub>
Ozanimod is a once-daily sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator for the treatment of relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and inflammatory bowel disease. It was developed by Celgene (now acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb) and was approved by the FDA on March 26, 2020.[L12573,L12582] The US approval was followed by the approval in Canada on October 2, 2020. In November 2021, ozanimod was also approved by the European Commission for the treatment of adults with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis.[L39377,L39382] MS is a devastating inflammatory disease that often progresses and causes severe neurological, physical, and cognitive effects. Inflammatory bowel disease also a chronic inflammatory condition and can cause persistent abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stools, and vomiting. In clinical trials, Ozanimod has been shown to be well-tolerated and has resulted in a higher decrease in the rate of MS relapses than with intramuscular [interferon beta-1a], a current standard in MS therapy. Studies involving patients with inflammatory bowel disease have also shown promising results.[A189318,A189342]
