Triptans treat migraine headaches. They work by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and may also help reduce pain signals. Triptans come in several different forms, including oral tablets and films, nasal sprays, and injections. Examples include sumatriptan (Imitrex, Tosymra, Zembrace), rizatriptan (Maxalt, Maxalt MLT, RizaFilm), and eletriptan (Relpax).
