Dihydroergotamine Nasal Spary

I have recently had a request to compound dihydroergotamine nasal
spary.  Does anyone have any protocols or information on compounding
this or on its use (migraines).  Thanks,  Ray         Chief Rx@

    David Nye, a neurologist in Wisconsin, and a frequent contributor
    to sci.med, is a fan of DHE nasal spray, and can point you to a
    number of pharmacies which compound it for his patients.
    His email address is ny…@cnsvax.uwec.edu.

    The March 1994 Neurology (Volume 44, pp. 447-453) issue ran a study by
    Zielger, Ford et al. of the use of dihydroergotamine via nasal spray.  The
    issue of compounding the drug was not specifically addressed, but the
    article may be of some interest to you.  It’s the only reference to this
    route of DHE administration I have ever run across.
