Question

question 59
which of the following oral dosage forms is best for relieving migraines?
extended-release capsule
immediate-release capsule
long-acting tablet
controlled-release tablet

Explanation:

Analyze therapeutic requirements for acute migraine relief

Migraines require rapid onset of action to alleviate severe, acute pain and associated symptoms quickly.

Compare oral dosage form release profiles

• Extended-release, long-acting, and controlled-release formulations delay or prolong drug release, making them unsuitable for acute, rapid-onset relief.
• Immediate-release formulations release the active ingredient rapidly upon administration, providing the fastest onset of therapeutic effect among standard oral solid dosage forms.

Answer:

• Extended-release capsule
• Immediate-release capsule (Correct answer)
• Long-acting tablet
• Controlled-release tablet
