Imitrex / Imigran (generic name: sumatriptan) is a medication primarily used for the acute treatment of migraine attacks, with or without aura, in adults. According to the FDA, it is not intended for the prophylactic therapy of migraines or for use in managing hemiplegic or basilar migraines.
Sumatriptan functions as a selective serotonin (5-HT1B/1D) receptor agonist, commonly referred to as a triptan. Its primary purpose is to alleviate migraine symptoms, including headache, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. It is not used to prevent or decrease the number of migraine headaches a person experiences.
The exact mechanism by which Imitrex relieves migraine symptoms is not entirely understood. However, it is believed to work by stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain, leading to the constriction of dilated blood vessels. This vasoconstriction is thought to counteract the widening of blood vessels that occurs during a migraine attack, thereby reducing headache pain and associated symptoms.
Imitrex belongs to the pharmacological class of drugs known as triptans. Triptans are a group of serotonin receptor agonists that are specifically used to treat migraines and cluster headaches. They are effective in relieving migraine symptoms by targeting serotonin receptors to reduce inflammation and constrict blood vessels in the brain.
More information on how Imitrex works to alleviate migraine attacks can be found on our post How Do I Get Imitrex.
Imitrex tablets should be stored at room temperature, between 20°C and 25°C (68°F and 77°F).

Most people who use Imitrex do not experience any adverse side effects. Doctors prescribe this medication because they assess the benefits of such treatment outweigh any likely unwanted effects.
If a sudden allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) occurs after taking Imitrex, with symptoms like swelling of the face, tongue, or throat making it difficult to breathe or swallow, or there is wheezing, hives, rash, blistering, or peeling of the skin, call a doctor or 911 right away, or go to an emergency room immediately.
Some of the side effects that have been reported include pain or tightness in the chest or throat, tingling, flushing, weakness, dizziness, abdominal discomfort, sweating, nasal irritation, and injection site reactions. These effects are generally transient and mild to moderate in intensity.
Not all side effects are listed here. If these or other unlisted symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Conditions treated by Imitrex
FDA-approved uses: Imitrex is approved for the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults.

Off-label uses: In some cases, Imitrex has been used off-label for the treatment of cluster headaches, which are severe headaches that occur in cyclical patterns or clusters. However, its safety and effectiveness for this use have not been established, and it is not FDA-approved for this indication.
