This is a fast acting treatment to help relieve migraine symptoms. It should be taken as soon as possible at the onset of a migraine. You can repeat the dose after 2 hours if the migraine has not subsided.

It is okay to take other pain relief medications alongside Imigran nasal spray. These include paracetamol and ibuprofen (NSAIDs).

However, because Imigran is a monotherapy for acute treatment of a migraine attack, it should not be given alongside any other migraine treatments including ergotamine or derivatives of ergotamine.

Not everybody is suitable to take Imigran, for example, don't use this migraine treatment if:

• You've ever had a myocardial infarction
• You have ischaemic heart disease
• You have angina
• You have circulation issues such as peripheral vascular disease
• You have symptoms or signs of ischaemic heart disease
• You use monoamine oxidase inhibitors, or you have taken them within the last two weeks
• You have kidney disease or liver disease
• You have had a transient ischaemic attack
• You have ever had a serious allergic reaction to any medicine

There are no specific requirements to use Imigran nasal spray with, or without, food.

You may want to avoid alcohol during a migraine as this could make it worse. However, it will not make Imigran less effective.

Although Imigran is not affected by the contraceptive pill, migraines can be linked to hormonal changes during your period.

Imigran nasal spray is intended for the relief of migraine headaches. It is a less suitable treatment for cluster headaches since Imigran nasal spray is designed to target longer-lasting migraine headaches, rather than short-term cluster headaches. 

If you have a regular cluster headache, ordinary pain relief medications such as paracetamol offer a more suitable treatment.

Imigran nasal spray can make you feel tired or sleepy. If this happens, avoid driving or using heavy machinery for your safety.

Imigran nasal spray should begin to work shortly after it is taken. To maximise the effects of Imigran nasal spray, take the medication as soon as your migraine symptoms occur. 

This should begin to quickly subside symptoms. If your migraine does persist, repeat your dose following a 2 hour period.

What’s the difference between Imigran nasal spray and tablets? Imigran nasal spray administers a lower dose than tablets, but with more precise targeting. This discrepancy makes Imigran nasal sprays more potent in your bloodstream, with more immediate effects than tablets.

While Imigran does not cause serotonin syndrome, there have been reports of patients developing this condition following the use of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and sumatriptan tablets.

The syndrome has also been reported following the concomitant use of triptan medicine and serotonin noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors.
