Migraine is a chronic condition. Sumatriptan does not cure it but offers relief against its painful symptoms. Migraines occur when blood vessels in the brain widen. Sumatriptan works by contracting the brain blood vessels so that blood can flow normally, offering relaxation that stops migraines. The drug stimulates serotonin receptors in the brain, which cause the muscles surrounding the blood vessels in the brain to contract. Sumatriptan also works by stabilizing the chemical changes that cause a migraine attack. The remedy relieves the sickness within 30 minutes.
Sumatriptan is safe for use as a migraine treatment. It may be inappropriate for you if: You have strokes or heart attacks. You have problems with poor circulation. You have high blood pressure. You have severely reduced liver function. Sumatriptan should be used with caution for patients above 40 and smokers.
