Imitrex (Sumatriptan) Prescription

Imitrex (sumatriptan succinate) is an antimigraine medication, known as triptan. It is used to treat migraine headaches with or without aura (flashing lights, wavy lines, dark spots) and is effective when used at any time during the attack. Also, it may be prescribed for acute treatment of cluster headaches.

Very effective migraine treatment...
Imitrex provides rapid relief from migraine headache with the onset of relief within 30 minutes of a 100 mg oral dose. The drug may decrease migraine symptoms such as nausea, photophobia, phonophobia. Sumatriptan is suitable as long-term prescription treatment.

...But not suitable for everyone
A major concern with Sumatriptan is its potential to cause cardiovascular side effects. Triptans are contraindicated for people with known cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease. People with cardiovascular risk factors, but without established disease, should use Imitrex (Sumatriptan) with caution under the doctor's supervision.

How does it work?

Imitrex works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain, which helps to relieve migraines.

Sumatriptan is a serotonin 5-HT 1 receptor agonist ("triptan"). It is structurally similar to serotonin, which is one of the receptors that serotonin binds to. The specific receptor subtype it activates is present in the cranial and basilar arteries. Activation of these receptors causes vasoconstriction of those dilated arteries. Sumatriptan is also shown to decrease the activity of the trigeminal nerve.

How to take

• It is best to take a dose of Sumatriptan as soon as you notice symptoms of a migraine attack.
• If your migraine symptoms go away and then come back, or if you have a partial response to the first dose, you may take a second dose as prescribed by your doctor. Wait at least 2 hours between doses.
• If your symptoms do not improve after the first dose, do not take a second dose for the same attack. Contact your doctor.
• Overuse of Sumatriptan can cause your headache to become worse. Do not take the higher dose or use more often than prescribed.
• The drug should not be used to prevent or reduce the number of migraine headaches you have.
• Imitrex has potential for drug interactions. Avoid concurrent use with antidepressants, ergotamine, sibutramine.
