WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT IMITREX
Do not take sumatriptan if the headache you are experiencing
is not like other migraines that you have had. Do not take

(chest pain), history of a heart attack, or high blood pressure.

further treat ymptoms. If your symptoms are not being treated,
contact your doctor.
WHAT IS 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. Sumatriptan tablets and injections
are used to treat vascular headaches such as migraine and
cluster headaches. 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. Sumatriptan may also be used for purposes other
than those listed in this medication guide.Sumatriptan is
in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means that it is not
known whether sumatriptan will harm an unborn baby. Do not
take this medication without first talking to your doctor
if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment.
Sumatriptan passes into breast milk and may affect a nursing
infant. Do not take sumatriptan without first talking to your
doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
HOW TO TAKE IMITREX
Take sumatriptan tablets exactly as directed by your doctor.
If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist,
nurse, or doctor to explain them to you. Take each dose with
a full glass of water. Take one tablet as soon as you notice
symptoms of a migraine, or at any time during an attack. If
your symptoms go away, but then return, you can take additional
doses as needed every 2 hours, up to a maximum of 300 mg in
24 hours, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Never
take more than this amount. If your symptoms do not improve
at all, call your doctor before taking any more doses of sumatriptan.
More medication will not further treat symptoms. Store sumatriptan
at room temperature away from moisture, heat, light, and the
reach of children. Throw away any unused medicine on the expiration
date.
IMITREX MISSED DOSE
Since sumatriptan is taken to treat migraines or cluster headaches
as they occur and not to prevent them, missing a dose is not
a problem. Take only the doses you need, according to your
doctor's instructions.
IMITREX OVER DOSE
Seek emergency medical attention. Symptoms of a sumatriptan
overdose might include tremor, redness, or a warm feeling
in your arms and legs, irregular breathing, large pupils;
an uncoordinated feeling; and chest pain.

stop taking sumatriptan and seek emergency medical attention:
an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your
throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives)
severe or prolonged chest pain or an irregular heartbeat.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur.
Continue to take sumatriptan and talk to your doctor if you
experience: nausea
drowsiness or dizziness
tingling, flushing, warmth, redness, or heaviness in a body
part.Side effects other than those listed here may also occur.
Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual
