Sumatriptan is a medication used to treat migraine and cluster headaches. It works by narrowing blood vessels around the brain and affects substances in the body that can trigger headache pain, nausea, and other migraine symptoms. Sumatriptan is part of a class of medications known as triptans.

How is this medication used?

Sumatriptan is typically administered either orally, via nasal spray, or by subcutaneous injection. The dosage and method of administration depend on the severity of the migraine and the patient's medical history. It's important to use sumatriptan as soon as a migraine starts. Do not use more than prescribed, and do not use it for a headache that is different from your usual migraines.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of sumatriptan include feelings of tingling/prickling, warmth or cold, dizziness, drowsiness, muscle aches, and temporary increase in blood pressure. Less common but more serious side effects can include chest pain or heavy feeling, pounding heartbeats, and symptoms of a stroke or heart attack.

What are the potential interactions?

Sumatriptan can interact with other medications, especially certain antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs), other migraine headache medicines (other triptans or ergot medicine), and medications that increase serotonin levels. These interactions can lead to a serious condition called serotonin syndrome. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking before starting sumatriptan.
