Benefits of technology
[0017] This invention comprises a pharmaceutical kit for treating migraine headaches, and a method for preparing the pharmaceutical kit. The preparation is a manufacturing process which includes packaging in a plurality of specific compounds used in the of migraine that are serotonin level elevating, prostaglandin inhibiting and dopamine blocking, preferably a therapeutically effective amount of each compound sufficient to treat at least 2 separate migraine headache attacks, and, providing use instructions for the effective administering of the compounds for migraine headache treatment. The invention further comprises useful features that provide advantages to the patient as well as the provider, i.e., doctor and pharmacy. For example, preferably separate packages for each compound are packed in separated compartments within the conta
Problems solved by technology
However migraine does not always attack in a unilateral manner.
Additionally, migraine is the number one cause of lost work days.
Despite tremendous economic pressures to develop a “magic bullet” style treatment useful in treating the full range of the illness, no manufacturer has done so.
However, as mentioned above, a “single drug” approach using Triptan, for example, cannot treat migraine adequately.
Surprisingly: it is not at all uncommon to find doctors prescribing only single drug treatment for migraine, which leaves the patient only with partial relief of headache, leaving them unhappy and seeking other opinions.
Yet, no manufacturer has assembled a kit with such a combination.

Embodiment Construction
[0028] An aspect of this invention applies to the preparation of a kit for the treatment of migraine headaches. In a preferred embodiment of this invention quantities representing a therapeutically effective dosage of several compounds for treatment of a migraine headache are packaged along with additional components such as a vessel of water, alcohol swabs and instructions for use, in a container by a manufacturing process which, preferably, seals the container and its contents into a self-contained, unitary, migraine headache treatment kit. Known pharmaceutical compounds may be provided, it should be understood that yet to be developed compounds may also be used as they become available.
[0029] Preferably, each drug, i.e., pharmaceutical compound, in the kit is packed separately, yet the separately drugs are contained in a single, easy to use container, such as the container 100 shown in FIG. 1. In a preferred aspect of this pharmaceutical kit for treating migraine headaches, prec...

Description
RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 125,821, which was filed Apr. 19, 2002.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention broadly relates to a pharmaceutical kit and method of packaging the kit for treating migraine headaches. BACKGROUND [0003] Migraine is an age old disease which has been described and dealt with in various ways throughout history by many cultures and civilization. For example old English literature described as “Hemicrania”, implying that migraine headache is unilateral in the head. However migraine does not always attack in a unilateral manner. It took several centuries to understand the scientific basis and recognize the wide clinical spectrum of this very common illness. [0004] As of recent times, in the United States alone, there are 28 million people suffering migraine. Of that population, approximately 21 million are female and 7 million are male. One in four households has at least one mi...
