What is Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) and what are its uses?

Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) is a headache medicine. Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) is believed to work by causing vasoconstriction (narrowing) of blood vessels (arteries and veins) around the brain. Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) also reduces the release of substances in the body that contribute to headache pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and other migraine symptoms.

Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) is used to treat vascular headaches such as migraine and cluster headaches.

Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) will not prevent migraines or cluster headaches or reduce the number of attacks. Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) will only treat a migraine or cluster headache that is already occurring.

How does Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) Works (Mechanism) ?

Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) contains the active ingredient sumatriptan, which is a type of medicine called a serotonin (or 5HT) agonist. Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) works by stimulating serotonin (5HT) receptors in the brain.

Serotonin is a natural substance in the brain that, among other things, causes blood vessels in the brain to narrow. Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) mimics this action of serotonin by directly stimulating the serotonin receptors in the brain. This causes the blood vessels to narrow.

Although the cause of migraine attacks is not fully understood, it is thought that the widening of blood vessels in the brain causes the pain associated with migraine attacks. As Sumatriptan (Generic Imitrex) narrows these blood vessels, it relieves the pain of migraine headaches. The dose should be taken as early as possible after the onset of migraine headache, though it is also effective if taken at a later stage during the migraine attack.
