Sumatriptan succinate is a highly selective 5HT1-like receptor agonist introduced as a
new treatment for migraine. It is indicated for the acute relief of migraine and cluster
headache. Oral administration is reported to be free of substantial side effects. The
compound appears to be a significant advance over the use of ergotamine and other
agents in the treatment of migraine.

World Health Organization (WHO)
Suprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent, was introduced
in 1983 for use as an analgesic for the symptomatic relief of mild to moderate pain
and for primary dysmenorrhoea. By 1986 it had become evident that its use was
occasionally associated with flank pain sometimes accompanied by evidence of
decreased renal function. The Arthritis Advisory Committee of the United States
Food and Drug Administration met in December 1986 to review the situation and
decided against withdrawing suprofen from the market. However, in May 1987 the
Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products of the European Community
recommended that all marketing authorizations should be suspended. The
manufacturer subsequently decided to suspend sale worldwide on the grounds
that sales had diminished to the point where the product was no longer
economically viable.
