Although the cause of migraine attacks is not fully understood, it is thought that widening of blood vessels in the brain causes the throbbing pain of migraine headaches. Sumatriptan relieves this pain by causing the blood vessels in the brain to narrow. Sumatriptan works by stimulating receptors called serotonin (or 5HT) receptors that are found in the brain. A natural substance called serotonin normally acts on these receptors, causing blood vessels in the brain to narrow. Sumatriptan mimics this action of serotonin by directly stimulating the serotonin receptors in the brain. This narrows the blood vessels and so relieves the pain of migraine headaches.

Side effects are generally transient. Some common side effects include pain or tightness in the chest or throat, tingling, flushing, weakness, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, sweating, nasal irritation, and injection site reactions. Rarely, allergic reactions have been reported, usually in individuals who are highly allergic to multiple allergens. Sumatriptan may elevate blood pressure in individuals with or without a history of high blood pressure. Individuals with uncontrolled high blood pressure should not use sumatriptan. Sumatriptan rarely has been associated with coronary artery spasm, heart attacks, stroke, abnormal heart beats, and seizures.

Sumatriptan is used to treat migraines. It helps to relieve headache, pain, and other migraine symptoms (including nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light/sound). Prompt treatment helps you return to your normal routine and may decrease your need for other pain medications. Sumatriptan belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans. It affects a certain natural substance (serotonin) that causes narrowing of blood vessels in the brain. It may also relieve pain by affecting certain nerves in the brain.Sumatriptan does not prevent future migraines or lessen how often you get migraine attacks.

  • What does sumatriptan do to you?

    What does sumatriptan do to you?
    Imitrex or Imigram (sumatriptan) are selective serotonin receptor agonists. These work by binding selectively to vascular receptors, producing a vasoconstrictive effect on cranial blood vessels. This helps to block pain signals from being sent to the brain, as well as the release of substances that cause pain, nausea, and other symptoms of migraine.
  • Can I drink alcohol with sumatriptan?

    Can I drink alcohol with sumatriptan?
    Evidence shows that alcohol can trigger migraines and cluster headaches. However, alcohol does not affect how sumatriptan works. Most doctors advise that it's best not to drink alcohol during a migraine attack.
  • How addictive is sumatriptan?

    How addictive is sumatriptan?
    Studies have determined that sumatriptan has low abuse potential and does not cause feelings of being high. As well, the substance is not a cause of physical dependence.
  • Can you take sumatriptan if you already have a migraine?

    Can you take sumatriptan if you already have a migraine?
    Most doctors advise that Imigram should only be taken when the migraine symptoms start developing instead of when there is a sense that a migraine may develop. It should not be taken at the same time as other migraine treatments, such as other triptans or ergotamine.
  • Can I take sumatriptan with ibuprofen?

    Can I take sumatriptan with ibuprofen?
    If the initial dose of sumatriptan does not work quickly to relieve a migraine, consult with a doctor about taking a painkiller containing aspirin, paracetamol, or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen.
  • Is sumatriptan a strong painkiller?

    Is sumatriptan a strong painkiller?
    According to published guidelines, Imitrex is not a painkiller. However, doctors can prescribe it if painkillers or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have not worked. Sumatriptan comes in three forms (as tablets, a nasal spray or injectable). The nasal spray and injections are usually used to treat rapid-onset migraines and cluster headaches.
