What Is It
Imitrex (Sumatriptan ) is a headache medicine. It is believed to work by causing vasoconstriction (narrowing) of arteries and veins that supply blood to your head. Imitrex ( Sumatriptan ) tablets and
injections are used to treat vascular headaches such as migraine and cluster headaches. Imitrex ( Sumatriptan ) will not prevent migraines or cluster headaches or reduce the number of attacks. It will
only treat a migraine or cluster headache that is already occurring. Sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline, IMITREX is the most prescribed acute migraine prescription medication in the United States
