Buy Imitrex (Sumatriptan) from Maple Leaf Medications.

What is Imitrex? 

Imitrex (generic name: sumatriptan succinate) is an oral medication prescribed for the acute treatment of migraine, with or without aura. This medication helps relieve migraine symptoms, such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. Note that this medication should only be given if a precise diagnosis of migraine has already been established. This should not be used to treat cluster headaches or for the prophylactic therapy of migraine attacks. 

This is available in Imitrex 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg tablet forms. 

Imitrex Mechanism of Action 

This serotonin receptor agonist or triptan works by exerting the agonist effects at the serotonin receptors on intracranial blood vessels and the sensory nerves of the trigeminal system. This results in the constriction of cranial vessels and inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory neuropeptides. 

How to use Imitrex 

Read the medicine information sheet that comes with the product first. Do not take any prescription medication if you have not yet fully understood all the drug information and Imitrex contraindications written in the guide.

You may only take another dose at least two hours after the first dose. Note that you should not take more than 200 mg of this medication within 24 hours.
