Imitrex is a medication used to treat migraine headaches. It is a prescription medication and is available in three different dosage forms: tablets, injections, and nasal sprays. The active ingredient in Imitrex is Sumatriptan, a serotonin receptor agonist that works by narrowing the blood vessels around the brain and reducing inflammation.

It is contraindicated in patients with certain medical conditions, such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. It should also not be taken by pregnant or breastfeeding women. When taking Imitrex, it is important to follow the instructions provided by your doctor. The recommended dosage is 100mg, taken as soon as possible after the onset of a migraine. It can be taken with or without food, but should not be taken more than once in a 24-hour period. Imitrex should not be taken with certain medications, such as MAO inhibitors, SSRIs, and other migraine medications. It is also important to avoid drinking alcohol while taking Imitrex, as it can increase the risk of side effects. Common side effects of Imitrex include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting. If any of these side effects become severe or do not go away, it is important to contact your doctor. Imitrex should be stored at room temperature and away from moisture and heat. It should be kept out of reach of children and pets. The medication should be used before the expiration date printed on the package.
