Triptans
Triptans are medicines used to treat migraines by targeting specific receptors in the brain's blood vessels and nerves. They work by constricting swollen blood vessels and blocking pain signals, helping to relieve migraine symptoms such as severe headache, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound. Triptans are most effective when taken at the onset of a migraine attack. They are generally safe for many people but should be used under a doctor’s guidance, especially if you have other health conditions like heart disease.
