Description

Sumatriptan belongs to a class of drugs called triptans. Imigran is available in different formulations, including tablets, nasal spray, and injections. The choice of formulation may depend on the preference of the individual and the severity of the migraine attack.

How it works

Sumatriptan, the active ingredient in Imigran, works by binding to certain receptors in the brain and constricting the blood vessels, thereby reducing the inflammation and pain associated with migraines. It also helps to inhibit the transmission of pain signals in the brain.

Warnings

  • Sumatriptan should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
  • Inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you have, especially if you have a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or certain types of headaches.
  • Avoid using sumatriptan if you have certain medical conditions such as uncontrolled high blood pressure or severe liver or kidney problems.
  • It may cause an increase in blood pressure, so regular monitoring of blood pressure is recommended.
  • Use caution if you are taking certain medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), as there may be an increased risk of a serious condition called serotonin syndrome.
  • Sumatriptan is not intended for the prevention of migraines or for the treatment of other types of headaches.

Directions

The recommended dosage may depend on the severity of the attack and individual response to the medication. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the packaging for the appropriate dosage and administration method. If you are taking tablets, take one (50 mg or 100 mg) with a drink of water, as soon as the headache phase develops.
