Sumatriptan Medication Description
Sumatriptan is a prescription medication used for the acute treatment of migraine headaches with or without aura. It belongs to a class of drugs called triptans, which work by narrowing widened blood vessels in the brain and blocking pain signals, helping relieve headache pain and associated symptoms such as nausea, light sensitivity, and sound sensitivity.

Sumatriptan is intended for use at the first sign of migraine symptoms and is not for the prevention of migraines or for the treatment of chronic daily headaches.

Usage Instructions
- Typically prescribed to be taken at the first sign of a migraine or when migraine pain begins
- May be taken with or without food
- If symptoms return or do not fully resolve, a second dose may be taken at least 2 hours after the first
- Do not exceed 100 mg per dose or 200 mg total in a 24-hour period
- Not intended for use on more than 10 days per month to avoid medication overuse headaches
Warnings & Precautions
- Not suitable for individuals at risk for coronary artery disease without prior evaluation by a healthcare provider
- Avoid use if you have uncontrolled high blood pressure, certain heart rhythm disorders, or a history of stroke
- Possible side effects include dizziness, flushing, tingling, fatigue, or drowsiness
- Rare but serious side effects include chest pain, shortness of breath, vision changes, or severe allergic reactions—seek medical attention if these occur
- Do not take other triptans or ergotamine-containing medications within 24 hours of sumatriptan use
- Not recommended for individuals 65 years and older unless specifically approved by a provider
Sumatriptan Side Effects

Side effects may include flushing, loss of energy, congestion, and change in taste. Although rare, additional side effects include severe dizziness, vision changes, burning or numbness, and vomiting.
