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

  1. Migraine: Imitrex is used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults.
  2. Cluster Headache: It is also indicated for the acute treatment of cluster headache attacks in adults.

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

Sumatriptan comes in the form of a tablet to take orally with or without a meal or as directed by your doctor. This should be taken at the first signs of migraine. Swallow the whole tablet and drink a glass of water after that. Cutting, chewing, or crushing this drug is not recommended.

The recommended single dose of Sumatriptan for treating a migraine headache is typically between 25 mg to 100 mg to be taken by mouth. After 2 hours, you may repeat the dose if you experienced some relief from the first dose. The dose should not exceed a total of 200 mg in a 24-hour period.
