What is Sumatriptan (Imitrex)?

What is Sumatriptan (Imitrex) used for?

  • Treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults

How Sumatriptan (Imitrex) works

Sumatriptan (Imitrex) is a triptan. It works by attaching to and turning on serotonin receptors in the blood vessels and nerves in your brain. This causes the blood vessels to tighten as well as lower the release of proteins that cause inflammation and pain. This is thought to help relieve migraines.

Pharmacist tips for Sumatriptan (Imitrex)

pharmacist

  • You can take sumatriptan (Imitrex) with or without food. If it's hurting your stomach, try taking it with food to help.

    • If you didn't get any migraine relief from your first dose of sumatriptan (Imitrex), don't take a second dose of medication without asking your provider first. It could mean that your headache isn't migraine-related and that it's caused by another condition.

      • Sumatriptan (Imitrex) can sometimes make you feel sleepy or dizzy. Don't drive or do anything that requires a lot of attention until you know how this medication affects you.

        • You might have a feeling of tightness, pressure, or pain in the chest, throat, jaw, or neck after taking sumatriptan (Imitrex). It typically doesn't last for long and will go away. However, these symptoms are very similar to symptoms of a heart attack or heart problems. If you notice that these symptoms are worsening or don't go away, get medical help right away.

          • If you're having more than four migraines per month, let your healthcare provider know. It's not known whether it's safe to take sumatriptan (Imitrex) that often. If you have frequent migraines, you'll need to consider different medication options to help with your symptoms. In general, taking migraine medications for more than 9 days out of a month can lead to rebound headaches (also called medication-overuse headaches).

            • Sumatriptan (Imitrex) interacts with many medications. These interactions can lead to dangerous side effects. Make sure to let your provider and pharmacist know about all the medications you're taking (including vitamins and supplements) before starting sumatriptan (Imitrex) so that they can help you check for interactions. If there are many interactions, your provider might even switch you to a different migraine medication.

              faqs

              Frequently asked questions about Sumatriptan (Imitrex)

              Can you take sumatriptan (Imitrex) with acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)?
              It's generally considered safe to take sumatriptan (Imitrex) with acetaminophen (Tylenol) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin). Sumatriptan (Imitrex), acetaminophen (Tylenol), and NSAIDs work completely differently to relieve migraines and don't appear to interact with each other. Taking sumatriptan (Imitrex) with acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) can potentially work even better to relieve migraines than taking any of these medications alone. But, keep in mind that these other pain relievers also have their own risks (e.g., liver risks, heart risks, kidney problems). Before using other pain medications with sumatriptan (Imitrex), speak with your healthcare provider to make sure it's safe for you to do so.
              What medications can you not take with sumatriptan (Imitrex)?
              There are a few medications that you shouldn't take with sumatriptan (Imitrex). This is because certain drug interactions with sumatriptan (Imitrex) can be harmful. Don't take ergot-derivative medications, like dihydroergotamine (Migranal), and other triptans within 24 hours of sumatriptan (Imitrex). This combination can cause your blood vessels to become dangerously narrow, raise your blood pressure too much, and raise your risk of heart attack or stroke. Additionally, you shouldn't take sumatriptan (Imitrex) with certain antidepressants because of the risk of serotonin syndrome. Tell your provider and pharmacist about all the medications and over-the-counter products you're taking or planning to take. They can help check for interactions and make sure your medications are safe to take with sumatriptan (Imitrex).
              How often can you take sumatriptan (Imitrex)?
              You can take two doses of sumatriptan (Imitrex) within a 24-hour period to help treat a migraine. If you need to take two doses, make sure they're separated by at least 2 hours. In addition, only take sumatriptan (Imitrex) for up to 4 migraines in a 30-day period because it's not known how safe it is to take the medication too many times. If you're still having a migraine after taking two doses of sumatriptan (Imitrex) in a day or have already used the medication for 4 migraines in a month, speak to your provider about other treatment options to help. But, keep in mind that using migraine medications for 10 or more days per month can cause your headaches to come back and possibly be worse (rebound or medication-overuse headaches).
              How long does sumatriptan (Imitrex) stay in your body?
              After you take a dose of sumatriptan (Imitrex), it can take about 10 hours for the medication to leave your body. Keep in mind that this time frame is estimated based on the half-life of sumatriptan (Imitrex). How long the medication stays in your body can be affected by your health conditions, so it might be different for each individual person. Discuss with your provider if you have questions about how long the medication stays in your body.
              Does sumatriptan (Imitrex) make you sleepy?
              It's possible for sumatriptan (Imitrex) to make you sleepy, but it doesn't appear to be a common side effect. Only about 2% to 3% of people taking sumatriptan (Imitrex) reported feeling tired or fatigue as a side effect in clinical studies. Before driving or performing activities where you need to be alert, wait and see how this medication affects you.
              How long does sumatriptan (Imitrex) take to work?
              Sumatriptan (Imitrex) can start to relieve pain and other migraine symptoms within 30 minutes to 2 hours. If you feel that a dose of sumatriptan (Imitrex) isn't enough to relieve your migraine symptoms, speak to your provider about your options.
              Can you take sumatriptan (Imitrex) while pregnant?
              Talk to your provider about using sumatriptan (Imitrex) if you're pregnant. It isn't completely clear how safe sumatriptan (Imitrex) is during pregnancy. Data from a pregnancy exposure registry and a medical birth registry didn't show a clear link between sumatriptan (Imitrex) and harm to babies. However, animal studies show babies were harmed when born to mothers exposed to sumatriptan (Imitrex). To be safe, it's best to always discuss the risks and benefits of using sumatriptan (Imitrex) during pregnancy with your provider.
              Can I take sumatriptan (Imitrex) if I'm breastfeeding?
              Based on available data, sumatriptan (Imitrex) isn't expected to cause side effects in breastfed babies or affect breast milk production. But, the manufacturer of sumatriptan (Imitrex) recommends avoiding breastfeeding for at least 12 hours after taking a dose of the medication. Ask your provider if using sumatriptan (Imitrex) while breastfeeding is a safe option for you and your baby.

              What are the risks and warnings for Sumatriptan (Imitrex)?

              Sumatriptan (Imitrex) can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.

              risk-warning

              Heart problems and high blood pressure

              • Risk factors: History of heart problems | Age older than 65 | Diabetes | Obesity | High blood pressure | Smoking tobacco | Family history of heart disease

                Although rare, some people have reported serious heart problems, such as heart attack and heart rhythm problems, within a few hours after taking sumatriptan (Imitrex). In addition, sumatriptan (Imitrex) can raise your blood pressure, rarely to dangerously high levels. If you have a history of heart problems, talk to your provider first to make sure sumatriptan (Imitrex) is as safe for you as possible. Make sure to check your blood pressure periodically while you're taking sumatriptan (Imitrex), and let your provider know if it's higher than usual. Get emergency help right away if you experience a heart attack, severe headache, chest pain, or irregular heartbeat.

                risk-warning

                Stroke or other brain injury

                Some people who've taken triptans like sumatriptan (Imitrex) have experienced life-threatening strokes or bleeding in the brain. Symptoms of such brain injury include sudden weakness on one side of the body, bad headaches, drooping face, trouble breathing, or changes in your speech or vision. These symptoms can be similar to migraine symptoms, so strokes can be mistaken for a migraine. To lower the risk of making this mistake, it's important that you're properly diagnosed with migraines before you start sumatriptan (Imitrex). In addition, people who've had strokes before shouldn't take sumatriptan (Imitrex). If you notice symptoms of a stroke, stop taking sumatriptan (Imitrex) and get medical help as soon as possible, especially if you haven't had a migraine before.

                risk-warning

                Extreme narrowing of blood vessels

                Sumatriptan (Imitrex) can cause extreme narrowing of your blood vessels in certain parts of your body. This can lead to serious stomach problems (e.g., stomach pain, bloody diarrhea), vision problems, and changes in sensation in your hands and feet. It can also lead to color changes in your hands and feet (can turn pale or reddish depending on how much blood is flowing through). If you notice these symptoms after taking sumatriptan (Imitrex), don't take any more medication until you see a provider so they can check out what's going on.

                risk-warning

                Serotonin syndrome

                • Risk factors: Taking other medications that raise serotonin levels in your brain

                  Some people taking sumatriptan (Imitrex) have developed a rare, but potentially life-threatening condition called serotonin syndrome. This condition happens where there's too much serotonin in the brain. Your risk for serotonin syndrome goes up if you use sumatriptan (Imitrex) with other medications that can raise your serotonin levels, such as certain antidepressants, mental health medications, pain medications, and migraine medications.

                  Let your provider know about all the medications you take before starting sumatriptan (Imitrex), as well as any medications you plan to take. Symptoms of serotonin syndrome include fast heart rate, sweating, muscle stiffness or spasms, fever, and confusion. Get medical help right away if you have any of these symptoms.

                  risk-warning

                  Allergic reactions

                  Allergic reactions to sumatriptan (Imitrex) are possible, including life-threatening reactions like facial swelling, shock, and anaphylaxis (closing of the throat). If you notice dizziness, difficulty breathing, a choking sensation, nausea, swelling around your eyes, or swelling of the lips or tongue after using sumatriptan (Imitrex), get medical attention as soon as possible.

                  risk-warning

                  Seizures

                  • Risk factors: History of seizures or epilepsy

                    Some people have had seizures after taking sumatriptan (Imitrex). This has happened in people who have a history of seizures, but can also happen in people who've never had them as well. Get medical help right away if you have a seizure while taking sumatriptan (Imitrex).
