For more than 20 years no medicine has been proven to be able to completely prevent these types of headaches. Some of the medications may trigger allergic reactions or increase the risk of allergic reactions. However a new article by a team of researchers from ETHZ has shown that this is not the case for nipples as they started to have more tolerance than normal nerves to triggers the typical allergic reactions. However in contrast the research team believes that this could change the way that allergy-avoiding medications are formulated. The goal is to develop a drug that is more tolerable and is thus more widely prescribed in all those who need to treat allergies. In addition to that it could open up the possibility of obtaining treatment without inflammatory reactions temporarily disabling the symptoms explained Magda Stahlberg lead author of the study which has been published in the journal Nature Immunology.
In the study the ETHZ team used the vector to study Nucleotides the drug targets. The research team was also able to show that the chemical compound in the drug works in a similar way as the enzyme that triggers allergic reactions. Therefore the made-up drug must be formulated in a way that does not affect the results of the currently available drug tests. This approach is particularly important because sometimes patients say their symptoms can be effectively reversed simply by adding another medication.
