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

  • Imigran injections should only be administered 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.
  • Do not inject Imigran into an artery or use it if you have a history of coronary artery disease, angina, heart attack, or other significant cardiovascular conditions.
  • Use caution if you have a history of seizures or epilepsy.
  • Inject Imigran as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not exceed the recommended dosage or frequency of use.
  • If you experience chest pain or symptoms of a heart attack, seek immediate medical attention.
  • Inform your healthcare provider if you are taking other medications, including antidepressants or other migraine medications, as there may be potential interactions.
  • Dispose of used needles and syringes properly in accordance with local regulations and healthcare provider instructions.

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. The usual dose for adults aged 18 to 65 with migraine or a cluster headache is one 6 mg injection. Imigran is not recommended for children under 18 years old.
