Imitrex DF (active ingredient: sumatriptan) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Acute Migraine Attacks: Imitrex DF is used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura. It helps alleviate headache pain and associated symptoms such as nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.
  2. Cluster Headaches: It is also indicated for the acute treatment of cluster headaches, providing relief from the severe pain associated with this condition.

Imitrex DF belongs to a class of drugs known as triptans, which work by selectively agonizing serotonin receptors in the brain to constrict blood vessels and reduce inflammation, thereby relieving migraine and cluster headache symptoms.

Sumatriptan comes in the form of a tablet and is taken orally, usually once a day with or without food. To use Sumatriptan tablets, swallow the tablet whole with a drink of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet, as this can alter its effectiveness. If you have difficulty swallowing tablets, some Sumatriptan tablets may have a score line to help you break it in half.

You may take the tablet with or without food. The recommended dose is usually 50mg or 100mg, depending on your doctor’s instructions. It is typically recommended to take the tablet at the onset of a migraine headache for the best results. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and read the patient information leaflet that comes with the medication. These instructions may vary depending on the brand and formulation of Sumatriptan tablets that you are using.
