About Sumatriptan:
What is Sumatriptan?
Sumatriptan is a serotonin receptor agonist used to treat acute migraine attacks. It narrows the widened blood vessels in the brain and reduces inflammatory processes associated with migraine pain.
How Does Sumatriptan Work?
It activates specific serotonin (5-HT1B/1D) receptors in the brain, causing blood vessels to constrict and reducing the transmission of pain signals and inflammatory substances.
Understanding the Condition:
What is Migraine?
Migraine is a neurological condition marked by intense, throbbing headaches, often on one side of the head. It may include nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Some patients experience aura—visual or sensory disturbances—prior to the headache phase.
Product Compatibility:
Can Sumatriptan be used with other medications?
Do not use with other triptans, ergotamine, MAO inhibitors, or SSRIs/SNRIs.
Always consult a pharmacist before combining treatments.
