Sumatriptan is a generic triptan medication, typically used to treat migraine headaches.

The exact cause of migraines is unknown, but it is believed the pain and symptoms associated with migraines is caused by blood vessels in the brain becoming swollen or widened. Sumatriptan helps ease pain and symptoms in two key ways:

• Narrows blood vessels
• Blocks pain signals

This medication is also sold under the brand name Imitrex, and effects are similar to other triptan migraine treatments such as Migrex and Zomig.

For Inexpensive, Effective Migraine Relief, Buy Sumatriptan:

Sumatriptan, like other triptan migraine treatments, works best when taken at the earliest symptoms of a migraine. If one tablet doesn't eliminate the headache or alleviate symptoms to a tolerable level, another tablet may be taken after a 2 hour interval.

Never exceed 200 mg of Sumatriptan in a 24 hour period; doing so may produce dangerous side effects.

The medication starts working after about 30 minutes. Drinking plenty of liquids will aid absorption into the bloodstream. It may be taken with or without food.

In some cases Sumatriptan becomes less effective over time. Switching to another migraine treatment, or even another administration method, may help restore effectiveness. Many patients find it helpful to alternate between two or more medications to preserve effectiveness.

Sumatriptan and Cluster Headaches:

Cluster headaches are notoriously painful and hard to treat. While triptan drugs do provide some relief, administration by tablet is the slowest and least effective way to deliver it.

Rather than buy Sumatriptan tablets, cluster headache sufferers have better results with an injectable form of the medication, such as Imitrex Injections. Injections provide the fastest possible relief, acting in just 10 to 15 minutes.

Some cluster headache patients also find Imitrex Nasal Spray to be effective, which is nearly as fast and powerful as injections.

Who Should Not Buy Sumatriptan:

Those a history of heart, liver or kidney problems have a higher risk of experiencing side effects while using this medication and should not buy Sumatriptan without first discussing risks with a doctor.

Sumatriptan is a sulfa drug; patients allergic to sulfa should not use this product. Symptoms of allergic reactions include:

• Rash or hives
• Swollen or itchy throat
• Swollen eyes, lips or tongue

The effects of Sumatriptan on unborn or nursing babies is unknown. Women who are pregnant or breast feeding women should buy Sumatriptan only when the benefits outweigh the risks.

Don't buy Sumatriptan to treat headaches other than migraines or cluster headaches; it will be only marginally effective at best.

Adverse Effects Associated with Sumatriptan:

In clinical trials fewer than 10% of patients have adverse reactions to Sumatriptan. Most are mild and don't last long:

• Fatigue
• Warm or cold flashes
• Vertigo or dizziness
• Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
• Muscle cramps
• Sleepiness

Rarely patients experience more serious side effects, in which case use of Sumatriptan should be discontinued until speaking with a physician:

• Chest pain
• Rapid heartbeat
• Difficulty breathing
• Vision changes
• Severe stomachache

Never mix migraine medications without doctor approval first. This includes other triptan medications, and even the same medication in a different form, such as nasal spray. The maximum safe dose varies by medication and administration method; too much of this type of medication can lead to dangerous heart problems.
