Description
What is Sumatriptan?
Sumatriptan is in the class of drugs called Triptans or serotonin agonists. This class of medication works by stimulating the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin takes action on the nervous system that carries pain signals. They help to reverse the changes in the brain that have brought about the migraine. This is why triptans can only be used purely in treatment as cannot be used as a prevention method.
What is the right dosage for me?
There are two strengths of Sumatriptan available, 50mg and 100mg. Most people will be prescribed the lower dosage to begin with, then some patients may require the 100mg dosage. Doses of 25 mg-100 mg have shown to be more effective than placebo in clinical trials but 25 mg is statistically significantly less effective than 50 mg and 100 mg.
