Sumatriptan

Sumatriptan is a medication used to treat migraines. It belongs to a class called triptans, which work by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and reducing substances involved in pain and inflammation. When taken at the start of a migraine, sumatriptan can help relieve headache pain, along with other symptoms like nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. It is usually administered as a tablet, nasal spray, or injection. Sumatriptan is effective for many, but it’s important to follow a doctor’s instructions and discuss any health conditions before use.
