Imigran is a medication that helps stop a migraine before it gets worse. The active ingredient in Imigran is sumatriptan. You take it when you first experience an aura or feel a migraine coming. You can get it as a nasal spray or as an oral tablet.
A migraine is a headache characterised by throbbing pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. It can be debilitating, preventing many sufferers from carrying on with their daily lives. Some people experience an aura prior to the onset of their migraines. An aura can cause you to see flashes of light, feel a tingling sensation on your face, or even make it hard for you to speak.
Sumatriptan, the active ingredient in Imigran, belongs to a class of drugs called serotonin agonists. These drugs interact with the serotonin receptors on the blood vessels in your brain to make them narrow. This stops the pain and other symptoms associated with your migraine.
You can’t take Imigran to prevent a migraine. Instead, this medication is taken to stop migraine symptoms after they’ve started. Depending on the method of application, your migraine should disappear quickly.
Imigran nasal spray is available in two doses: 10mg and 20mg. Tablets of Imigran Radis are also available in two doses: 50mg and 100mg. Most people can manage migraine symptoms with the lower dose for each type of Imigran. If your symptoms don’t go away completely with one application of the lower dose, our clinician may recommend the higher dose to treat your migraines.
