A note from our healthcare expert

Sumatriptan is one of the most widely used medications for the acute treatment of migraine attacks. As a serotonin (5-HT1) receptor agonist, it works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and blocking pain pathways involved in migraines.

How do Sumatriptan tablets work ?

Sumatriptan 50mg tablets work by targeting specific receptors in the brain called serotonin receptors. When a migraine attack occurs, these receptors become overactive, leading to the dilation of blood vessels in the brain and the release of inflammatory substances.

Sumatriptan tablets are used to treat migraines but may also help with cluster headaches. Take them as soon as migraine symptoms start to help reduce the severity and duration of an attack.
