    Imigran is the branded version of the medicine Sumatriptan. This migraine treatment presents itself in the same formulation and strength as Sumatriptan. These migraine tablets are an oral medication used to alleviate a migraine attack. While this medication can reduce the symptoms of migraine headaches, it is not a migraine treatment, nor does it prevent migraine attacks from happening.

    • Used to treat migraine symptoms (with or without the presence of aura)
    • Can reduce nausea, pain and light sensitivity
    • Branded version of the cheaper generic Sumatriptan

Overview

NOTE: After selecting this product, you will need to complete a short assessment, so we can make sure this medication is suitable for you. Pricing is provided as a reference only. The final decision on issuing this medication remains with our Prescriber / Pharmacist.

Imigran, the brand name of Sumatriptan, is a medication used to narrow the blood vessels in the brain, which can help to reduce pressure and relieve the symptoms of migraine attacks.

The active ingredient in Imigran, Sumatriptan succinate, belongs to a family of medicines called triptans. They work by reducing the pain signals which are sent to the brain by blocking specific receptors.

It also helps reduce the effects of nausea and sensitivity to stimulus, such as light. This medication is effective when taken at the earliest opportunity from when a migraine begins.

Imigran is available from our online pharmacy in strengths of 50mg or 100mg. To buy Imigran online, start your consultation or speak to a member of our team.

FAQ

  • How do I take Imigran Tablets?

    Take one Imigran tablet as soon as possible, at the onset of a migraine. You can repeat the dose after 2 hours if the migraine has not subsided.

    Imigran tablets should only be taken when there has been a clear diagnosis of migraine.

  • Can I use other migraine medicines with Imigran Tablets?

    You can use painkillers and anti-sickness treatments with Imigran. These include paracetamol, ibuprofen or aspirin-based painkillers (NSAIDs).

  • Does Imigran cause Serotonin Syndrome?

    While Imigran tablets do not themselves cause Serotonin Syndrome, Serotonin Syndrome has been reported after patients took triptans and Serotonin noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) together.

  • Should I take Imigran with food?

    There are no specific requirements to take Imigran with, or without, food. It works to treat migraine symptoms whenever you need it.

  • Is Imigran affected by alcohol, antibiotics or the contraceptive pill?

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

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

  • Does Imigran work on regular headaches?

    This treatment often relieves other symptoms that occur together with a migraine headache, such as nausea, tension, vomiting and sensitivity to light. If you have a regular headache, you should use ordinary painkillers like paracetamol.

  • Can you drive while taking Imigran medication?

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

  • Who can not take Imigran tablets?

    Imigran tablets should not be taken by patients who have had myocardial infarction, or have symptoms or signs of ischaemic heart disease, coronary vasospasm, or peripheral vascular disease.

    You should also not take ergotamine or derivatives of ergotamine (including methysergide), or any triptan/5-hydroxytryptamine 1 (5-HT1) receptor agonist when you're taking Sumatriptan tablets.

    You should also not take monoamine oxidase inhibitors when taking sumatriptan either, and refrain from taking Imigran tablets within two weeks of taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors.

Side Effects

The side effects of Imigran can include chest pain, heaviness, pressure or tightness in the chest, throat or other parts of the body, or unusual sensations, including numbness, tingling and warmth or cold. These effects may be intense but generally pass quickly.

Other common side effects include:

  • Feeling sick (nausea) or being sick (vomiting), although this may be due to the migraine itself
  • Tiredness or drowsiness
  • Dizziness, feeling weak or getting hot flushes
  • Temporary increase in blood pressure
  • Shortness of breath

 

When using Imigran nasal spray, it is common to experience nasal irritation, altered taste, or throat irritation as well.
