Have you seen the new Imitrex Ad (NOT about $$ off

OK - I'm probably over reacting, but ...
The newest TV Imitrex ads say, "Imitrex is ONLY for MIGRAINES." Seems to me, they're overlooking a very important (though rare) audience.
You'd think they'd say, "Imitrex is only for VASCULAR headaches. " (or something like that anyway)
I vote for a massive clusterhead email campaign!

Kris, its only due to the fact CH effects 1% of the pop. More folks have migraines out there then CH. Yea it sucks but its life in the world of CH. Over looked again.

They sure would feel it in their pockets if ch'ers stopped taking it thought, wouldn't they?
They are clueless.
Is there an address on the container? We ought to add up what we spend on one cycle and let them know where the money really comes from.

It's not about playing it safe and an email campaign is useless.
It's about marketing and targeting the largest group of consumers which are the meeeeegrainers.
More bang for the buck.

Has the FDA approved it for clusters??
It could be that they cant say it's for clusters if it's not approved for clusters.
Im probably wrong, but that's what i'm guessin.
