Sumatriptan
Tablet
It’s important to take your treatment as directed. Make sure you read our summary below and read the Patient Information Leaflet that comes with your treatment.
Migraines are associated with the dilation of blood vessels in the brain. Sumatriptan helps to relieve the pain and symptoms of migraines by constricting these blood vessels, reducing inflammation.
Take the recommended dose as soon as you experience migraine symptoms.
Side effects include nausea, vomiting and dizziness.
If you experience chest pain, tightness, or discomfort after taking sumatriptan, seek medical attention promptly, as very rarely, serious heart problems can occur.
A migraine is a neurological disorder characterised by recurrent, intense headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, and sound. It can significantly impact daily life and may last for hours to days.
Migraines are thought to result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Triggers may include hormonal changes, certain foods, stress, lack of sleep, and sensory stimuli.
Do: Identify and avoid triggers, maintain a regular sleep schedule, stay hydrated, and manage stress.
Don't: Skip meals, overuse pain medications (which can lead to rebound headaches), or ignore early warning signs.
Prevention strategies may include lifestyle changes, stress management, identifying and avoiding triggers, regular sleep, and sometimes prescription medications specifically designed for migraine prevention.
Treatment includes acute medications for pain relief during an attack (such as triptans) and preventive medications for those with frequent or severe migraines. Lifestyle changes and non-pharmacological approaches are also considered. Please note that Sumatriptan is not to be used as a preventative medication.
