What is Imitrex nasal spray?

Imitrex nasal spray (sumatriptan) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline LLC. Imitrex nasal spray is classed as a serotonin (5-HT1B/1D) receptor agonist (triptan) indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Sumatriptan works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain.

Imitrex nasal spray should only be used only if a clear diagnosis of migraine headache has been established. It is not indicated for the prophylactic therapy of migraine attacks, or for the treatment of cluster headaches.

What doses of Imitrex nasal spray are available?

Imitrex is available in a variety of dosage forms:

  • Tablet form, in the following doses: 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg
  • Single-dose nasal spray form: 5 mg and 20 mg
  • Single-dose prefilled syringe cartridge: 4 mg and 6 mg for use in an Imitrex STATdose injection pen
  • Single-dose vial of liquid solution: 6 mg strength for use with a syringe. Imitrex injection is for subcutaneous use

The 5-mg and 20-mg doses are given as a single spray in 1 nostril. The 10-mg dose may be achieved by the administration of a single 5-mg dose in each nostril. A second dose should only be considered if some response to the first dose was observed. Separate doses by at least 2 hours. The maximum dose in a 24-hour period is 40 mg.

Please read the patient information and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
