Sumatriptan 100mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Sumatriptan 100mg is used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks. It helps relieve migraine headache and associated symptoms after an attack begins, but it does not prevent future migraine attacks and is not meant for regular daily migraine prevention. Sumatriptan belongs to the triptan group and works by narrowing widened blood vessels in the brain and reducing migraine pain signaling. It should be taken as advised at the start of migraine symptoms. Do not use it for hemiplegic or basilar migraine, uncontrolled high blood pressure, ischemic heart disease, previous stroke or TIA, peripheral vascular disease, or recent use of another triptan or ergot medicine.

How to use

Take Sumatriptan 100mg exactly as advised, usually at the start of migraine symptoms. Do not exceed the prescribed daily limit or combine with another triptan unless told by the doctor.

How it works

Sumatriptan is a triptan. It acts on serotonin receptors, narrows dilated cranial blood vessels, and reduces migraine pain signaling.

Common side effects

Side effects may include tingling, warmth, flushing, heaviness, dizziness, sleepiness, nausea, dry mouth, or pressure sensations. Chest pain, fainting, severe allergy, or neurologic symptoms need urgent care.

Important information

Use only for an active migraine attack. Tell the doctor about heart disease, stroke/TIA, high blood pressure, liver disease, antidepressants, ergot medicines, other triptans, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
