New medication? (NOT a joke)

I was just told about a new treatment for (dare I mention the “M” word?) migraines. From what I have been told, it has been approved in Russia and in the UK. It is a one time shot that you get (in your butt) and it stops migraines, supposedly, forever.
Now, it is true that clusters are NOT migraines, but we all know that some migraine meds work for us, too. Has anyone heard of this new treatment? The drug is called, LARDACGACTYL. I hope that is the right spelling, as I am getting the information third or fourth hand. I cannot get any answers when I check in Google, nor in rxlist.com.
Does this ring a bell to any of our “over the waters” family members?
I am posting this to both the medical and general boards to get the fullest dispersal.
Chuck

Could you be talking about Largactil? If so, I see nothing about it being a one time cure all for migraines. Here is what I did find...
http://www.migraines.org/treatment/prothora.htm
Quote:
Chlorpromazine (aka Thorazine, aka Largactil) is often used to treat the nausea and vomiting and, to some extent, the pain associated with a Migraine attack. It also allows the Migraineur to rest more easily and allows other medications to work better.
General information about Chlorpromazine:
Phenothiazines (FEE-noe-THYE-a-zeens) are used to treat serious mental and emotional disorders, including schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Some are used also to control agitation in certain patients, severe nausea and vomiting, severe hiccups, and moderate to severe pain in some hospitalized patients. Chlorpromazine is used also in the treatment of certain types of porphyria, and with other medicines in the treatment of tetanus. Phenothiazines may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Phenothiazines may cause unwanted, unattractive, and uncontrolled face or body movements that may not go away when you stop taking the medicine. They may also cause other serious unwanted effects. You and your doctor should talk about the good this medicine will do as well as the risks of using it. Also, your doctor should look for early signs of these effects at regular visits. Your doctor may be able to stop or decrease some unwanted effects, if they do occur, by changing your dose or by making other changes in your treatment. |

Still looking for more information on the med you are talking about.
